What gear should an automatic transmission car be in when waiting at a red light?

[Josiah]

When waiting at a red light with an automatic transmission car, it should be shifted into neutral. The gear positions for automatic transmission vehicles are explained as follows: 1.P——Parking, the parking gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, at which time the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. 2.R——Reverse gear, used when reversing. 3.N——Neutral, used when temporarily stopping (e.g., at a red light). 4.D——Drive, also known as the forward gear, used when moving forward. 5.L——Low, the low gear, used when going downhill. 6.OD, the overdrive gear, used when driving at high speeds.
