Explanation

A steady (non-flashing) red light prohibits passing. While it is on, vehicles must not go past the traffic light or the nearest stop line before it, if there is one. If the traffic light is inside the junction or on the opposite side of it, vehicles must not enter the junction or go past the stop line before it, if there is one.
