National Stop on Red Week, which takes place each August, serves as a crucial reminder of the personal responsibility each driver has in obeying red lights when behind the wheel.

Stopping at red lights is not only the law, it's also a way to keep everyone on the road safe. Red-light running puts you and fellow commuters in danger. To best protect yourself and other road users, bring your vehicle to a complete stop at the marked stop bars, located before the crosswalk.

Should you come across a signal in "dark mode" or "flash mode" please treat the intersection as a four-way stop. In this situation, the signal essentially becomes a stop sign. The first vehicle to arrive has the right of way. If multiple vehicles arrive at the same time, yield to vehicles on the right, then when it's your turn - proceed with caution.

You can legally turn right on red unless otherwise marked. In some intersections throughout the county, signs are placed to instruct drivers that a turn on red is not allowed. Most of these signs are permanent, but you may also notice light up signs that will illuminate during certain hours, when the turn is unlawful.

In Idaho, you can turn left on red when turning onto a one-way street. The exception to this rule is when the red light is a red arrow or if otherwise marked.
