Two traffic light questions

SimonTemplar

I have two traffic light questions please:

1) On a junction with a right filter light, is the difference between a green filter arrow and a full green circle is that the green filter will correspond to a right light for upcoming traffic but the green circle means oncoming traffic also has a green light and thus right of way. So basically, does a green filter arrow always correspond to a red light for oncoming traffic?

2) If you look at the lights below, I've seen the green ahead arrow, the green right arrow, and the red light all on at the same time. Traffic can only go straight or right, so if both filters are green, I don't understand why the red is still on?

that is pretty much it. If you have a green filter arrow you have right of way over oncoming traffic.

are you saying that the red and green light in either the yellow or white boxes in the image below were lit at the same time?

Thanks for your reply. It basically looked like my mockup below:



The only thing is that I can't remember if the red light was on in the left or right column. There was only one red light. I might be walking by that area again tomorrow evening so I'll see if I can get an actual picture.

Faulty light if so.

Might you have been looking at it at an angle and seen the red on the pedestrian light and then the two green filters?
Otherwise yeah sounds like faulty light,
