Explanation
Drivers must obey all lawful orders and directions of a police officer. When instructed by a police officer to proceed through a red light, you must follow the officer's instructions. In general, if a law enforcement officer is directing traffic at a traffic signal, you must obey the officer, not the signal. Failure to adhere to the officer's instructions can result in a ticket.
