Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are first in line at this signal and want to go straight. The signal has shown this for a long time, and no cross traffic or pedestrians are near. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stay stopped behind the stop line until the light turns green
Why
A long red light can tempt drivers to go, but most signals run on a timed cycle, and a crossing vehicle can appear fast. In Utah, a right turn on red, or a left turn from a one-way street onto another one-way street, is allowed after a full stop unless a sign prohibits it, and you must yield to cross traffic and pedestrians. Stop with your front bumper behind the stop line, so that you do not block the crosswalk.
