DIAGONAL TRAFFIC ARROW

DIAGONAL TRAFFIC ARROW

 

Though Road Rules keep silent on upward diagonal arrow traffic light, you may meet this diagonal arrow at an intersection of 3 and more roads, where it regulates traffic along the diagonal road, while the full light regulates traffic along the road going straight ahead.

 

At the traffic lights with a diagonal arrow and no turn arrow, the diagonal arrow also regulates the corresponding turn (e.g. a left diagonal arrow also regulates left turn), and on green diagonal arrow you can either go into the diagonal road or turn into the crossing road.

 

When both the turn arrow and the diagonal arrow are present: for turns you interpret the turn arrow together with the full traffic light, while for the diagonal road you read the diagonal arrow exclusively, as well as you read exclusively the full light for the road going straight ahead. This is explained in detail hereafter.

 

Note that you can go into the diagonal road only from a designated lane having the diagonal arrow road marking; you do not have to blink turn signal when going to the diagonal road.

 

Photo: Traffic Lights – Left turn arrow and diagonal arrow are green, you can go into the diagonal road or turn left

With combination of traffic lights presented on this photo, you can either turn left (into the Boulevarde), or go into the diagonal road (Port Hacking Road – Caringbah), but cannot go straight ahead (Kiora Rd. - Miranda).
