Which signal means stop?

A steady red light is the normal signal that tells you to stop. When you approach an intersection and the red is solid, you must come to a complete halt behind the stop line (or crosswalk) and stay stopped until the light turns green or you have a legal reason to proceed. This rule is the clearest, most universally applied cue for halting in regular driving. In contrast, a yellow light means slow down and prepare to stop, not to stop completely at the light; a red and yellow together usually signals that the light will change soon and is not a stop cue; a flashing red light can also mean stop in special situations, but the steady red is the standard signal for stopping in normal traffic.
