Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the light turns green.
A 'NO TURN ON RED' sign prohibits turning during a red light. Therefore, the driver must stop and wait for the light to turn green before proceeding.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This refers to the conditions for a left turn on red, which is also prohibited by the sign.
- B. This action is only permitted if there is no 'NO TURN ON RED' sign and the turn is safe.
- D. This describes the action for a flashing yellow light, not a steady red light with a 'NO TURN ON RED' sign.
No Turn on Red
A traffic sign that explicitly prohibits a right (or left) turn even after stopping, when the traffic signal is red.
- Overrides the general rule for turning on red.
- Requires the driver to wait for a green light.
- Ensures safety at specific intersections.
Memory trick: Red light means STOP, unless a sign says 'GO' or 'TURN', but 'NO TURN ON RED' means NO.
