When faced with a red traffic light positioned before an intersection, where must you stop?

Correct answer

Before the nearest stop line before the traffic light and, if none exists, level with the traffic light, without going beyond it.

When we come to a red traffic light placed before reaching an intersection, we must stop our vehicle appropriately to ensure safety and compliance with traffic regulations. The correct action is to brake the vehicle just before the nearest stop line before the traffic light. This stop line is painted on the road surface and is the main reference indicating where we must stop. If there is no stop line marked, the regulations establish that the vehicle must stop level with the traffic light, without going beyond it, to avoid entering the intersection.
