ROAD TRAFFIC CODE 2000 - REG 39

39 .         Effect of a circular green signal or green arrow

        (1)         If a traffic-control signal facing a driver displays a circular green signal the driver may —

            (a)         proceed straight ahead; or

            (b)         turn right or turn left, if the driver —

                  (i)         does not conflict or interfere with pedestrians crossing the roadway;

                  (ii)         does not turn the vehicle contrary to an instruction on a traffic sign at the intersection; and

                  (iii)         gives way to any vehicle on the right and, if turning right, gives way to any vehicle that has entered or is approaching the intersection from the opposite direction.

        Modified penalty: 3 PU

        (2)         The display of a green arrow on a traffic-control signal is a direction to a driver facing it that opposing traffic has been stopped to enable him or her to proceed, or that traffic does not conflict with his or her proceeding, in the direction indicated by the arrow; and, where the arrow has not come into operation, the display of a circular green signal, alone, is a direction to a driver facing it that he or she may make the turn that would otherwise be indicated by the arrow, but only if the movement can be made with safety, in the face of oncoming traffic.
