If you approach a solid red signal that does not have a green arrow or direction, what must you do?

• A. Stop and wait until green.
• B. Proceed with caution without stopping.
• C. Make a right turn on red where allowed without stop.
• D. Honk and proceed.

Answer: (A)

Solid red means you must stop. You should come to a complete stop before the stop line and wait until the light changes to green (or until a green arrow appears if a turn is specifically allowed). There’s no permission to proceed or to turn on red when there’s no green arrow or direction shown. Yield to any pedestrians or other vehicles in or approaching the intersection while you wait.
