Which action is typically allowed at a red light without a sign prohibiting it?

• A. Drive in reverse to keep moving
• B. Turn left
• C. Turn right
• D. Go straight through

Answer: (C)

When you’re stopped at a red light, the common exception is turning right on red after coming to a full stop, provided there’s no sign prohibiting it. You must yield to pedestrians and to any oncoming traffic before making the turn, and you’re allowed to proceed only when it’s safe. Reversing to keep moving is unsafe and generally illegal at a red light. Turning left on red is not normally allowed at standard intersections (unless a specific one-way to one-way rule or sign permits it). Going straight through on red isn’t permitted—you must wait for a green signal or for the red-turn exception to apply.
