That's only for a single traffic light if I rember from the ones I've seen. At those you can turn right if it's safe (no oncoming traffic) to proceed without the filter arrow

Your junction looks like it's controlled by two separate lights next to each other. You can not turn right even if the left one is green as the right one controls the turn right lane (as indicated by the round blue turn right sign underneath).

I'm pretty sure it does show red and green at the same time. Its really confusing though.

Perhaps the van driver then got confused, and went on the green arrow. Or just went thinking he had right of way over other traffic, and took you out?

Thats the same sort of set up where my other half had an accident in a car, he went to turn and got t-boned by some women in her tigra.

see i'm in panic mode now because WVM is saying it was my fault and if the insurance opt for 50/50 i get jack shi#!

another one, when i would say its safe to go.

yep theyre all green ,safe to go(assuming theres nothing coming i.e ran a red )

Got a pic of some other lights that exactly the same as that junction. They're separate lights.



If proper attention wasn't paid you can run the traffic lights by mistake. It depends on whether they believe he ran the red filter light or you ran yours.

HTH

when i go to work at 5.30 in a morning you see all the same cars on the roads people going to work but ive never seen this van before so maybe these lights were new to him?

My guess is all the greens are for the traffic to go forward and the one with red light is the filter traffic light (it has a blue turn right icon under the green light section) You can not proceed and turn right unless that is green (should be a green right arrow light anyway)

yep - seems to be similar to one in my neck of the woods. Traffic turning right have to wait for their very own green light...
