What should you do when you're coming to a red light at an intersection with a stop line?

  1. Make a right turn after slowing down

  2. Stop just before the crosswalk

  3. Accelerate and go straight through the intersection

  4. Stop just before the stop line

The correct answer is: Stop just before the stop line

When approaching a red light at an intersection with a stop line, you should come to a complete stop before the stop line. Option A, making a right turn after slowing down, is incorrect because you must come to a complete stop at a red light before turning. Option B, stopping just before the crosswalk, is incorrect because the stop line is typically located before the crosswalk. Option C, accelerating and going straight through the intersection, is incorrect because you must come to a complete stop at a red light. Therefore, option D, stopping just before the stop line, is the correct and safe choice.
