BDifficulty 2/5

The traffic light controlling your entry to a junction shows a steady red light. There is no green arrow or officer authorising passage. If you want to turn right, must you stop?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. A steady red light prohibits proceeding and requires stopping at the stop line or, if there is none, before the light. Turning right provides no exception. This is a change of direction, not a reversal of travel direction. A later permission to proceed does not remove other safety and priority duties.
