A two-headed arrow with one head pointing straight ahead and the other pointing to the left means:

  1. You must turn left

  2. You may proceed straight or turn left

  3. Only left turns are allowed

  4. Proceed with caution in both directions

The correct answer is: You may proceed straight or turn left

The interpretation of a two-headed arrow with one head pointing straight ahead and the other pointing to the left signifies that drivers are permitted to either proceed straight or turn left. This type of sign indicates flexibility in navigating the intersection or road, allowing the driver to choose their path based on their destination or current traffic conditions. The option that denotes mandatory actions or limitations does not apply here, as the arrow's design implies multiple permissible movements rather than a single required action. By having the opportunity to both go straight and turn left, drivers can adjust their maneuver based on their needs while ensuring they comply with any additional rules that may be in place at that location.
