Answer: B — Come to a complete stop and check for oncoming traffic

Before making a right turn at a red light in Arkansas, it is essential to come to a complete stop and check for oncoming traffic. This rule is in place to ensure that you assess the situation thoroughly for any vehicles that may be approaching or for pedestrians who may be crossing the street. Stopping completely allows you to gather the necessary information to make a safe decision. It is also important to be aware of any traffic signs that may indicate whether a right turn on red is permitted or prohibited. By stopping, you give yourself the opportunity to yield to any vehicles or pedestrians that have the right of way. This practice enhances safety for all road users and helps to prevent accidents at intersections where traffic may be merging or turning.
