Solid GreenGive the right-of-way to

any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian in the
intersection. A green light means GO. If
you are turning left, make the turn only if
you have enough space to complete the
turn before creating a hazard for any
oncoming vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian.
Do not enter the intersection if you cannot
get completely across before the light
turns red. If you block the intersection,
you can be cited.
La luz verde solida significa que puede

Green ArrowA green arrow means

GO. You must turn in the direction the
arrow is pointing after you yield to any
vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian still in the
intersection. The green arrow allows you
to make a protected turn. Oncoming
vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians are
stopped by a red light as long as the green
arrow is lighted.

STOP Slide 7

Una flecha verde indica que

puede proseguir en la direccin
en que va a dar vuelta, una vez
que haya cedido el paso a
peatones, ciclistas, u otros
vehculos. Esta flecha indica que
su vuelta est protegida y todos
se detendrn hasta que usted

STOP An eigh-sided red STOP sign
indicates that you must make a full
STOP whenever you see this sign. Stop

painted on the Street) or before entering
the crosswalk. If a limit line or crosswalk
is not painted on the street, stop before
entering the intersection. Check traffic in
all directions before proceeding.

Slide 7
A square red and white
regulatory sign indicates that you
must follow the signs instruction.
For example, the DO NOT
ENTER sign means: do not enter
a road or off ramp where the sign
is posted (usually on a freeway
off ramp).
La seal de Do Not Enter
significa que est prohibido el

carretera o rampa de salida
donde vea esta seal
(generalmente en una rampa de
salida de la autopista).

The WRONG WAY sign may or

may not be posted with the DO
NOT ENTER sign. If you see
one or both of these signs,
drive to the side of the road
and stop. You are going against
traffic. When safe, back out or
turn around and return to the
road you were on. At night if
you are going the wrong way,
the road reflectors will shine
red in your headlights.
La seal de WRONG WAY

seal DONOT ENTER
(PROHIBIDO EL PASO). Si ve
una o ambas seales, dirjase a
la orilla de la carretera y pare
