At a steady red traffic signal, what must you do?

Red means stop. When you encounter a steady red signal, bring your vehicle to a complete stop behind the stop line and wait. You should not enter the intersection or creep forward while the light is red. You may proceed only after the light turns green and the crossing is clear of pedestrians and other traffic. This keeps pedestrians safe and ensures you only move when it’s your turn and the intersection is truly safe to enter.
