Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a traffic light detection system is provided for a vehicle. One or more processing devices associated with the system receive at least one image of an area forward of the vehicle via a data interface, with the area including at least one traffic lamp fixture having at least one traffic light. The processing device(s) determine, based on at least one indicator of vehicle position, whether the vehicle is in a turn lane. Also, the processing device(s) process the received image(s) to determine the status of the traffic light, including whether the traffic light includes an arrow. Further, the system may cause a system response based on the determination of the status of the traffic light, whether the traffic light includes an arrow, and whether the vehicle is in a turn lane.
