What color arrow signal means that traffic turning in that direction must stop and remain stopped?

When you see a red arrow, you must stop and stay stopped. The red arrow provides a protected stopping signal for the turn, so you may not proceed in that direction until the arrow turns green and you have the right of way. The goal is to let cross traffic and pedestrians pass safely before you move. If the arrow were green, you would be allowed to turn in that direction if the way is clear. A yellow arrow signals the protection is ending, so you should slow down and be prepared to stop, or proceed only if you cannot stop safely. Blue arrows are not standard for traffic signals in most places, so they don’t indicate a stop requirement.
