What does a solid red light mean for turning, and when may you turn on red where allowed?

• A. Proceed calmly as long as you signal.
• B. Stop, then, if a turn on red is allowed, proceed only after a full stop and yield to pedestrians and cross traffic.
• C. Turn on red if there is no oncoming traffic within 200 feet.
• D. Ignore the signal and continue driving.

Answer: (B)

Red means you must come to a complete stop. If turning on red is allowed at that intersection, you may proceed only after a full stop and after yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic. You may turn when the way is clear and there’s a sign or signal permitting a turn on red; otherwise, you wait for the light to turn green.
