At a red light, left turns can only be made from a one-way street onto a left-moving one-way street, and only if there is no sign prohibiting the turn. Left turns cannot be made at a red light from any other street. Give way to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles that have the right of way because their light is green. (It is important to keep in mind that the laws regarding left turns at red lights may vary from state to state.)
You are free to use either the signal lights on your vehicle or hand signals. Make use of hand signals in the event that the signal lights are not functioning properly or if strong sunlight makes it difficult to see them. When a driver in front of you signals that they are going to turn right with their hand and arm pointing upward, you should prepare to make that turn.
In most parts of the world, the shape of the stop sign is that of an octagon. A sign advising motorists to come to a complete stop and wait until it is safe to continue their journey.

White lines that are broken indicate that vehicles are allowed to pass one another, but this should only be done when it is safe to do so.
The color "RED" on the signal light indicates that drivers should come to a complete stop well in advance of the stop line and avoid crowding the intersection. Only turn left when there is a sign indicating that you should turn left in a red signal. It is important to remember to give pedestrians and vehicles from other directions the right way when turning.
The "One Way" sign indicates that drivers must travel in the direction indicated by the arrow on the sign. This sign is typically placed at the entrance of a one-way street or a specific section of a roadway where traffic is restricted to one direction only.
If your vehicle's wheels move off the pavement and onto the shoulder of the road, it is generally advisable to slow down and safely maneuver your vehicle back onto the pavement.
