Topic 3 · Rules of the Road: Traffic Laws in California
If a traffic officer directs you through a red light, you should:
- Follow what other drivers are doing
- Obey the officer’s directions — correct answer
- Wait for the light to turn green
Why
An officer's directions override signals and signs. Do exactly what they indicate.
