Traffic signals
Know the difference between a steady traffic light and a signal controlling an individual lane.
Solid red light
Stop before entering the intersection.
What to do: Stop at the line or crosswalk; if neither exists, before the intersection. A right turn, or a left turn from one one-way street to another, is allowed only after stopping and yielding when safe, unless a sign prohibits it.
Solid yellow light
The signal is changing to red.
What to do: Stop before the line, crosswalk or intersection if you can do so safely. If already in the intersection, clear it safely.
Solid green light
You may proceed when the way is clear.
What to do: Yield to pedestrians when turning and to oncoming traffic when turning left. Enter only when you can clear the intersection.
Red X over a lane
That lane is closed to traffic moving in your direction.
What to do: Do not enter or stay in that lane. Move safely into a lane showing a green arrow.
Downward green arrow over a lane
You may use the lane beneath the arrow.
What to do: Travel in that lane while watching for changes in the lane-control signals.

Pavement markings

Double solid yellow lines
Passing across the centre lines is prohibited in both directions.
What to do: Remain on your side of the road and wait for a permitted, safe passing opportunity.
Broken yellow line
Passing may be permitted when safe.
What to do: Check that passing is legal, sightlines are clear and there is enough room to complete the pass safely.
Solid and broken yellow lines
Passing is permitted only for the driver next to the broken line, when safe.
What to do: If the solid line is on your side, do not cross it to pass. If the broken line is on your side, check carefully before passing.
