An arrow signal with a left-pointing arrow only applies to which traffic movement?

A left-pointing arrow on a signal directs only the vehicles in the left-turn lane to proceed with a left turn. It designates a protected turn phase, meaning opposing traffic and pedestrians must wait for their turn according to their signals. This arrow doesn’t authorize through traffic to go straight or pedestrians to cross in that moment, and it doesn’t apply to all traffic. So the movement allowed by that arrow is specifically the left-turning traffic. When you’re in a different lane, follow the signal that matches your intended movement.
