Practice question

When stopping at a red light, how close should you stop to the line?

  1. 5 feet
  2. 10 feet
  3. 15 feet
  4. As close as possible

Answer: A — 5 feet

The correct answer is A 5 feet. When stopping at a red light, it is important to stop at the designated stop line, which is usually about 5 feet away from the intersection. This ensures that you have enough space to see cross traffic and make a safe stop before proceeding when the light turns green. B and C are too far away from the intersection, and stopping as close as possible (D) can be dangerous as it may block pedestrian crossings or prevent other vehicles from turning.
