A steady red traffic light means:

Slow down and yield to other traffic in the intersection, then proceed with caution.
Stop. Don’t travel straight ahead until the light turns green.
Drive through the intersection with extreme caution.
Stop, then proceed slowly through the intersection.
Explanation

When you encounter a red traffic light, you must come to a complete stop. Even if there is no crossing traffic, you must still stop and wait until the light turns green before you may move ahead. If you are turning right, you may turn after coming to a full stop if it is safe and if there is no sign prohibiting the turn on a red light.
