Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are first in line at a steady red light and want to go straight. There is a crosswalk but no stop line. The cross street is now empty, and your light is still red. What must you do?
A is first in line at a steady red signal. A marked crosswalk lies ahead, with no stop line; the cross street is empty.
Correct answer: Stay stopped before the crosswalk until your own light turns green
Why
When your light turns green, do not move at once. Let crossing traffic clear the intersection, and look left, right and left again. A steady red light allows a right turn after a full stop only where no sign prohibits it, and only after you yield.
