Alberta Class 7 License Practice Test

A downward-pointing green arrow instructs drivers to?

1. Stop before proceeding

2. Drive in that lane

3. Yield to pedestrians

4. Change lanes

The correct answer is: Drive in that lane

A downward-pointing green arrow is a traffic signal that indicates that drivers may proceed in the lane that the arrow is indicating. This signal means that the lane is open for traffic and that it is safe to continue driving there. When a downward green arrow is displayed, it signifies that there are no restrictions for using that specific lane, and drivers can confidently drive at the posted speed limit. Familiarity with traffic signals is crucial for safe driving, as it helps ensure that all road users understand when to go, stop, or alter their actions according to the traffic control devices. The other options relate to different traffic signals or instructions: stopping is typically signaled by a red light, yielding is associated with signs indicating pedestrian crossings or merging traffic, and changing lanes is not directed by a green arrow but would require appropriate signaling and checking for safety.
