Red Light and Stop Sign Violations

Red light and stop sign violations occur when a driver fails to obey traffic signals. A red light indicates that vehicles must stop and remain stopped until the light turns green. A stop sign requires drivers to come to a complete stop, check for pedestrians and other traffic, and proceed only when it is safe. Ignoring these signals can lead to accidents and endangers public safety. Penalties for violations often include fines, points on the driver's record, and increased insurance rates. Following these rules helps maintain order and safety on the roads.
