Red Arrow Many states don’t have different rules for the red arrow and the solid red light. Turns that are allowed when the solid red light is displayed, are also allowed when the red arrow is shown.
Other states prohibit all turns against a red arrow. In these states, you must stop at a clearly marked limit line or before entering the crosswalk. If there isn’t a stop line or crosswalk, you must stop before entering the intersection. You must then remain stopped until the light turns green, or a flashing yellow arrow is displayed.
California is one state that prohibits all turns against the red arrow.
