Traffic Lights The United States
Traffic Lights The United States, like practically every other country in the world, employs traffic lights to regulate traffic. The colors of the lights can be red, yellow, or green. These hues denote:
Stop when you see the color red. As you might expect, red signifies a stop, and you must come to a complete stop at a red traffic signal. If you are the first car to arrive at the light, there will be a line on the road where you should stop; otherwise, you will have to wait in line behind other cars. It's worth noting that you can sometimes move after stopping, even if you're stopped at a red light — see the section below on "turning on a red traffic signal."
Yellow indicates that you must come to a complete stop at the stop line. You may proceed if you are traveling too fast to safely stop, such as when you are about to cross the stop line and the light turns from green to yellow as you approach; nevertheless, if you can safely stop, it is preferable to do so rather than try to "beat the light."
Proceed if the light is green. When the light changes from red to green, you are free to proceed. If a light is green when you approach it, you may continue driving; however, if it changes to yellow, you must stop unless it is unsafe to do so.

Speed Limits in the United States
Because speed restrictions differ by road and state, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Speed limits are expressed in miles per hour, and certain routes have stated minimum and maximum speed limits that must be followed. On one rural road in Texas, speed limits range from 15 to 85 mph.
The best advice is to obey all posted speed limit signs and to familiarize yourself with the typical limits for various road types and places in the state or states you are visiting.
