Cayman Islands Traffic Lights
Traffic light signals and their meanings
7 signs in this category
Traffic light signals control the flow of vehicles and pedestrians at Cayman Islands junctions and crossings. Understanding each light state — and the sequence between them — is essential for safe, legal driving.
Study tip: Learn the full light sequence and what amber means. A common test question is what to do on a green filter arrow versus a full green light.
Amber arrow
An AMBER ARROW means “STOP” at the stop line on the carriageway. You are changing from a protected turn to a permissive turn.
Amber light
AMBER means 'Stop' at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident
Green arrow
A GREEN ARROW means "GO." You must turn in the direction the arrow is pointing after you give way to any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian still in the junction. The green arrow allows you to make a "protected" turn. This means oncoming vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians are stopped by a red light as long as the green arrow is lighted.
Green arrow light
A GREEN ARROW may be provided in addition to the full green signal if movement in a certain direction is allowed before or after the full green phase. If the way is clear you may go but only in the direction shown by the arrow. You may do this whatever other lights may be showing.
Green light
GREEN means you may go on if the way is clear. Take special care if you intend to turn left or right and give way to pedestrians who are crossing
Red and Amber light
RED and AMBER also means “Stop”. Do not pass through or start until GREEN shows
Red light
RED means “Stop”. Wait behind the stop line on the carriageway. Having come to a complete stop, you may turn left providing it is safe to do so.
