What vehicles are legally allowed to go through a red light?

(in the US) Most DMV regulations specify that only so-called "emergency response vehicles" may pass through 'controlled intersections' and then only with their audible and visual warning devices fully activated. Some jurisdictiosns require that these "emergency vehicles" actually come to a complete stop at each red light and stop sign before proceeding through the intersection agsainst the indication of the signal. As with most laws written by the individual states, they do vary. Check your own state's Motor Vehicle Codes for the answer that applies to your state.


Is it legal in North Carolina to go under a red light after stopping if light won't change to green?

yes the law does say you have stay stopped just stop and the go if no other traffic is comingANS2:In the U.S., a flashing red light at an intersection is treated as a stop sign. Some states permit motorcyclists to treat a non-changing signal as a stop sign if the pavement sensor does not detect them. At an intersection with a malfunctioning signal, the intersection is treated as a 4-way stop. For other situations, if you are certain that you can convince the police officer who stops you for running the red light that you waited a reasonable length of time and you didn't interfere with opposing traffic, the officer might not cite you. The law says that you don't enter the intersection on red unless directed by police.

A red light traffic ticket may be obtained by a specific type of traffic infraction known as "running a red light." This means driving through an intersection without stopping if the light is flashing red, or simply driving through any solid red light.
