(a) a white B light is showing; or

(b) there is no B light showing, and traffic lights at or near the B lights are showing a green traffic light; or

(c) if the driver or rider is turning at the intersection—a white traffic arrow is showing that indicates the direction in which the driver or rider is turning.
