Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
A traffic signal facing you shows a steady circular red light. What is required before any permitted movement?

Correct answer: Stop at the limit line; if none, before the crosswalk or intersection.
Why
Stop at the limit line. If there is no limit line, stop before the crosswalk; if neither is present, stop before entering the intersection. Then wait or make only a lawful turn after yielding.
