Read signals and regulatory signs

Start by naming the control actually facing your lane. A stop sign, circular red signal, red arrow, warning sign, and flashing signal can require different decisions. Then identify the limit line, crosswalk, conflicting traffic, and available space beyond the junction. This prevents treating a familiar color as permission for every maneuver.
