Treat it like a yellow arrow light.

|
Stop if you intend to move in the direction of the arrow.

Explanation
A red arrow light means you must come to a complete stop if you plan to turn in the direction of the arrow. You cannot proceed until the light changes to green or the red arrow turns off. In Virginia, turning right or left at a red arrow is prohibited by law. However, if signs at the intersection state "Right on Red Arrow After Stop" or "Left on Red Arrow After Stop," you may proceed after stopping.
