3 Types of Traffic Signal Lights RED
Traffic Signal Lights (RED)
SOLID RED
- It means "STOP"
- Stop at the light before your turn
- Yield to pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles
RED ARROW
- It means "STOP"
- Remain stopped until the green signal or green arrow appears
- Do not turn at the red arrow
FLASHING RED
- It means "STOP"
- After stopping, you may proceed when it is safe
- Observe the right of way rules
1) Solid Red Light: This means that drivers must come to a complete stop at the stop line or intersection and remain stopped until the light changes to green. Drivers are not allowed to proceed until the signal changes, even if there is no other traffic around.
2) Red Arrow Signal: This is a separate signal that applies only to vehicles turning in the direction of the arrow. A solid red arrow means that drivers must come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the signal changes, even if there is no other traffic around. Drivers are not allowed to make the turn until the signal changes to a green arrow, indicating that it is safe to proceed.
3) Flashing Red Light: This also means that drivers must come to a complete stop at the stop line or intersection, but instead of waiting for a green light or signal, drivers can proceed when it is safe to do so. At a flashing red light, drivers are not required to wait for the signal to change, but must still yield to other vehicles and pedestrians before proceeding.
It's important to always follow the traffic signals and signs posted at the intersection or along the road, and to proceed safely and responsibly, regardless of the type of traffic signal light.
