Explanation
When approaching a traffic signal, you will encounter three possible colors: red, yellow, or green. If the light is red, you must come to a complete stop, with no exceptions. If the light is yellow, slow down and prepare to stop; you may proceed through the intersection only if you have already entered it. If the light is green, you may proceed, but always check to ensure the intersection is clear, and never speed up in anticipation of the light changing.
