  • When approaching traffic lights, green means "GO", but it is advisable to slow down and check for traffic before proceeding.

  • If you are turning right at a Green light the approaching traffic has right of way, wait for a clear road before proceeding.

  • An Amber traffic light means you must slow down and stop. Because the robot is preparing to be red.

  • A flashing Green arrow means you may proceed in the direction that the arrow is pointing.

  • A flashing Red arrow on your left means you may turn in the direction of the arrow as long as the road is clear of other traffic.

  • A continuous Red or Green arrow means you may proceed in the direction of the arrow with caution.
