A steady red light means what for drivers?

• A. Yield to oncoming traffic
• B. Stop and wait for a green light
• C. Stop, then turn right or left if allowed
• D. Continue driving if no cars are present

Answer: (C)

A steady red light is a traffic signal indicating that vehicles must come to a complete stop. However, once stopped, drivers can proceed with a right turn or a left turn from a one-way street onto another one-way street, provided that they yield to pedestrians and any other oncoming traffic where required. This means that while a red light generally signals to stop, there are specific circumstances where turning is permissible while still adhering to the rules of the road. Understanding this context helps drivers maintain safety and compliance with traffic laws while navigating intersections.
