The meaning of the light signals for directing the traffic of vehicles is valid over the entire width of the carriageway open to the traffic of the drivers they are addressed to. But on roads with two or more lanes in one direction, for different directions, delimited by longitudinal markings, the traffic lights may be installed above one or some of the lanes, in which case the meaning of the light signals is limited to the lane or lanes thus signalled. Therefore, when you move on a road with two or more traffic lanes and above each lane there is installed a traffic light, you have the obligation to respect the meaning of the traffic light installed above the lane on which you move.

We must also know that on the red or green lamps of the traffic lights may be applied arrows of black colour which indicate the directions of travel corresponding to them. In this case the prohibition or permission to pass imposed by the light signal is limited to the direction or directions indicated by these arrows. The same meaning is also held by the arrows applied on the additional panels that accompany, at the lower part, the traffic lights. The arrow for straight ahead has the tip upwards.

The correct answer is: C
