red arrow

Scarlet directional marker

A red arrow is a traffic signal indicating that turning in the arrow's direction is prohibited while the light is red, unlike a standard red light which may permit turns after stopping.

Red arrows also appear in diagrams, maps, and interfaces to highlight direction or draw attention: The red arrow shows where to click.

In financial contexts, a red arrow pointing downward indicates declining values.
