What does a solid red traffic light indicate?

  1. Proceed with caution

  2. Stop completely and wait for the green light

  3. Slow down and prepare to stop

  4. Yield to pedestrians only

The correct answer is: Stop completely and wait for the green light

A solid red traffic light indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop and wait for the green light before proceeding. This is a fundamental traffic rule designed to ensure safety and prevent accidents at intersections. When the light is red, it signals that cross traffic has the right of way and vehicles must remain halted until the signal changes. This rule supports orderly traffic flow and protects pedestrians as well, discouraging any actions that might cause confusion or danger to those on the road. Recognizing and responding accurately to red traffic signals is crucial for all drivers to maintain a safe driving environment.
