- 1Traffic SignalsTraffic signals are installed at intersections to control the movement of vehicles and
pedestrians. Traffic signals are arranged in either vertical lines or horizontal lines.
When they are arranged vertically, red is always on top and green on the bottom.
When they are arranged horizontally, red is always on the left and green on the right. - 2When there is a STEADY RED LIGHT...you must stop before crossing the marked stop line or
crosswalk. If you do not see any lines, stop before entering the intersection. Wait for a green light
before you start. - 3You may turn right while the light is red, unless...a NO TURN ON RED sign is posted at the intersection.
You must first stop, check for and yield to pedestrians and other traffic. - 4You may also turn left after you stop at a red light, if...you are in the left lane and are turning left from a
one-way street onto another one-way street, unless a sign tells you not to turn. You must first stop and
yield to pedestrians and other traffic. - 5A STEADY YELLOW LIGHT tells you...a steady red light will soon appear. If you are driving toward an
intersection and a yellow light appears, slow down and prepare to stop. If you are within the
intersection or cannot stop safely before entering the intersection, continue through carefully. - 6A STEADY GREEN LIGHT means you may drive through the intersection, if...the road is clear. You may
also turn right or left unless a sign tells you not to; however, when turning, you must yield to other
vehicles and pedestrians within the intersection. - 7A GREEN ARROW means...you may turn the way the arrow points. When you turn during the green
arrow phase, your turn is “protected” because oncoming traffic is stopped by a red light. If the green
arrow turns into a green light, you may still turn in that direction, but first yield to pedestrians and
oncoming traffic. - 8A YELLOW ARROW means...the movement permitted by the green arrow is about to end. You should
slow down and prepare to stop completely before entering the intersection. If you are within the
intersection or cannot stop safely before entering the intersection, carefully turn in the direction
the arrow is pointing. - 9Although not common in Pennsylvania, a RED ARROW is used in other states. It means...you may not
turn in the direction the arrow points. - 10A flashing red light...has the same
meaning as a STOP sign. You must
come to a complete stop. Then, look
both ways, and proceed only after the
intersection is clear. - 11A flashing yellow light means...CAUTION.
Slow down, look and proceed with care. - 12A non-functioning traffic signal should be...treated as though it was a four-way STOP sign.
- 13four-way stop sign is...an intersection of two roads having stop signs at all four entry points. The usual rule for such intersections requires that those entering the intersection yield the right of way to vehicles entering before them.
- 14ramp meter, ramp signal or metering light is...a device, usually a basic traffic light or a two-section signal (red and green only, no yellow) light together with a signal controller that regulates the flow of traffic entering freeways according to current traffic conditions. It is the use of traffic signals at freeway on-ramps to manage the rate of automobiles entering the freeway.
- 15on-ramp is...an entrance lane for traffic from a street to a turnpike or freeway.
- 16off-ramp is...an exit lane for traffic from a turnpike or freeway to a street.
- 17Some highway entrance ramps have traffic signals at the end of the ramp that...alternate between steady green
and steady red. - 18Ramp metering signals are...used to control the flow of traffic onto very congested highways and
usually operate during peak rush hours. You must wait for the green signal before you enter the highway.
On single-lane ramps, only one (1) car may enter the highway each time the light turns green. For multi-lane on
ramps, there will be a ramp meter for each lane. The green light does not protect your entrance onto the
highway — you must still look for a safe gap in traffic to enter the highway. - 19Special signals may also be placed directly over lanes to control traffic. These are...These are commonly used at toll booths,
on bridges, tunnels and on multi-lane roads in cities where the direction of travel for a particular lane changes to
ease the flow of traffic into or out of the city during peak rush hour. - 20A steady downward green arrow over a traffic lane means...you may use the lane.
- 21A steady yellow “X” over a traffic lane means...you must change lanes because the direction of travel
for that lane is about to be reversed. Get ready to leave the lane safely. - 22A steady red “X” over a lane means...you are not allowed to use the traffic lane.
- 23A white, steady, one-way left-turn arrow over a lane means...you may only turn left, if you are
in that lane. - 24A white, steady, two-way left-turn arrow over a lane means...you may only turn left, if you are in
that lane, but the lane is shared by left-turning drivers approaching from the opposite direction.

A flashing red light has the same
meaning as a STOP sign. You must
come to a complete stop. Then, look
both ways, and proceed only after the
intersection is clear.
A flashing yellow light means CAUTION.
Slow down, look and proceed with care. - 25When a steady WALK or walking person comes on...start crossing, but be
alert for turning
vehicles that may not
lawfully yield the right
of way. - 26When the flashing DON’T WALK or flashing upraised hand begins...a. Finish crossing,
if you are in the
street.
b. Do not start to
cross, if you have
not left the curb. - 27When the steady DON’T WALK message or steady upraised hand is displayed...do not
cross. - 28School zone signals are...School zone signals are flashing yellow signals placed on the school zone speed limit signs. You must
travel no faster than 15 mph when the yellow signals are flashing or during the time periods indicated
on the sign. Exceeding the speed limit in a school zone will result in three (3) points on your driving
record, and you will also be fined. - 29Drivers are alerted when approaching a railroad crossing by...the railroad crossing sign.
- 30Railroad crossings should be...approached with caution at all times.
- 31Before proceeding across the railroad tracks...you should always look both ways and
listen for any approaching trains or signals - 32When there is a signal of an approaching train...you are required to stop at all railroad crossings
- 33Railroad crossing signals include...flashing red lights, a lowered crossing gate, a flagger signaling or a train’s
audible signal of warning. Do not move forward or attempt to go around any gate or ignore any
signal of an approaching train. - 34If there are no signals at the railroad crossing, you should...slow
down and prepare to stop, if you see or hear a train approaching. - 35Proceed with caution only after all railroad crossing signals are...completed and then only when there is evidence
no trains are approaching the crossing. - 36You should stop if a train is...approaching and has sounded its audible signal or is plainly visible and
in hazardous proximity to the crossing. - 37Do not stop your vehicle on a railroad track...regardless of whether a train appears to be coming.
- 38If traffic is backed up because of a traffic signal, stop sign or for any other reason...make sure you stop your vehicle
in a location where it will be entirely clear of any railroad tracks.
