Should an automatic transmission car be shifted to neutral when waiting at a red light?

An automatic transmission car can be shifted to neutral when waiting at a red light. Here are the specific explanations: 1. The professional term should be 'disengaging to neutral', and the clutch should be fully released. Releasing the clutch can extend the lifespan of the clutch cable. Additionally, when shifting to neutral and releasing the clutch, it should be done slowly. 2. After an automatic transmission car comes to a stop by braking, a creaking noise may occur the moment the brake is released. Automatic transmission cars offer higher driving comfort as they do not require close coordination between hands and feet. There is no need to constantly shift gears while driving; simply controlling the depth of the accelerator pedal can easily achieve speed changes. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting operations.
