Drivers must stop the vehicle when the traffic light is red.

• A steady red light means you must stop at the marked stop line. If there is no stop line, stop before entering the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection. You must remain stopped until the light turns green.
• A red arrow means you must stop if you intend to move in the direction of the arrow. You must remain stopped until the arrow turns green.

Refer to your local and state driving laws for specific regulations. For example, some jurisdictions allow a right turn on a red light unless a sign prohibits it.
