What should you do when stopping for a red traffic signal?

Come to a full stop, make a full stop a few feet beyond the signal, then proceed
Come to a full stop and wait until the signal turns green
Slow down to a safe speed, look both ways, then proceed
Come to a complete stop before the intersection and wait until traffic has cleared

The correct answer is: Come to a full stop and wait until the signal turns green

When stopping for a red traffic signal, you should come to a full stop and wait until the signal turns green. Option A is incorrect because it suggests making a full stop beyond the signal, which may cause confusion for other drivers and is not necessary. Option C is incorrect because it recommends only slowing down and checking for traffic, which is not enough to ensure safety at a red light. Option D is incorrect because it suggests waiting for traffic to clear before proceeding, rather than waiting for the signal to turn green. Overall, the correct answer (B) is the most thorough and safest option for stopping at a red traffic signal.
