What does a red traffic light mean?

• A. Go
• B. Stop
• C. Proceed cautiously
• D. Speed up

Answer: (B)

Red means you must stop. When you approach a red signal, bring your vehicle to a complete stop before the stop line or junction and stay there until the light changes to green (or until a green arrow allows a turn). You should not move through the intersection on red, as that would risk causing a collision with vehicles or pedestrians who have the right of way. Only proceed when you’re back to a green signal. The other options would put you into the path of other road users and are not allowed at red.
