What light indicates you must stop?

• A. Stop when you see a green light
• B. Stop when you see a red light
• C. Proceed when you see red light
• D. Proceed regardless of light

Answer: (B)

Red signals tell you to stop. When you approach a red light, bring your vehicle to a complete stop behind the stop line or crosswalk and wait until the light changes to green (or until another authorized signal lets you go). The idea behind red is to curb cross-traffic and protect pedestrians, so movement is only allowed when it’s clearly safe and legal to proceed. Green means go, and yellow means slow down and prepare to stop. Turn-on-red rules, if any, vary by location, but the default is to stop at red unless a specific exception applies.
