BTT Traffic Light Rules

Question 1

What must you do when you see a steady red traffic light?

Accepted Answer

Stop behind the stop line and wait

Answer

A steady red light means you must stop behind the stop line and wait until the light changes. There is no 'turn on red' rule in Singapore.

Question 2

What does a steady amber (yellow) traffic light mean?

Accepted Answer

Stop behind the stop line unless it is unsafe to do so

Answer

An amber light means stop behind the stop line. You may only proceed if you are so close that stopping would be dangerous.

Question 3

A green arrow pointing right appears alongside a red light. What can you do?

Accepted Answer

Turn right only, giving way to pedestrians

Answer

A green filter arrow allows you to turn in the arrow's direction only, but you must still give way to pedestrians crossing the road you are entering.

Question 4

What does a flashing green man signal at a pedestrian crossing mean?

Accepted Answer

Pedestrians should finish crossing quickly — do not start

Answer

A flashing green man means pedestrians already crossing should hurry to finish. Those who haven't started should wait for the next green man.

Question 5

You approach a junction where the traffic light is showing red and amber together. What does this mean?

Accepted Answer

The light is about to turn green — prepare to move but do not go yet

Answer

Red and amber together indicate the light is about to change to green. Prepare to move off but do not proceed until the green light shows.
