Which of the following is true about the red light rule?

• A. A full stop is required before entering an intersection.
• B. You may enter on red after honking three times.
• C. You may proceed if no other vehicles are present.
• D. You must yield to pedestrians only.

Answer: (A)

When you face a red light, you must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection. This ensures you have a full opportunity to look for cross traffic and pedestrians and only proceed when it’s safe and you have the right of way. Honking, or assuming you can go because no cars are around, doesn’t change the rule—red lights are a control that requires stopping. You can only move through the intersection after the light is green (or when a permitted turn is allowed and you’ve yielded as required). So the correct idea is that a full stop is required before entering the intersection.
