Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
What must a driver do at a steady red traffic signal?
Correct answer: Stop completely and wait unless a lawful turn on red is allowed.
Why
Stop at the marked stop line or other designated stopping point and keep the crossing clear. Without a marked point, stop before entering the intersection. Do not continue straight against the red. Massachusetts permits certain turns after stopping and yielding unless a sign prohibits them; any separately displayed permissive arrow must also be interpreted correctly.
