Arkansas Driving Permit Practice Test

What action should you take at a red traffic light?

1. Proceed if no opposing traffic

2. Proceed with caution

3. Stop

4. Yield

The correct answer is: Stop

At a red traffic light, the correct action to take is to stop. When the traffic light is red, it means you must come to a complete stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection. It is essential to wait for the light to turn green before proceeding to ensure safety for yourself and others on the road. Options A, B, and D are not the correct actions to take at a red traffic light. Proceeding through a red light, even if there is no opposing traffic, can lead to accidents and is against traffic laws. Proceeding with caution or yielding is also not allowed at a red light; you must come to a complete stop until the light turns green.
