Which gear should the car be in when waiting at a traffic light?

[McAlan]

Detailed introduction on which gear an automatic transmission car should be in when waiting at a traffic light is as follows: 1. Waiting for less than 30 seconds: If the automatic transmission vehicle is expected to stop and wait for less than 30 seconds, keep it in D gear with foot brake applied. 2. Waiting for more than 30 seconds: If the expected stop and wait time is more than 30 seconds, shift to N gear with handbrake applied; 3. Waiting for more than 2 minutes: If the expected stop and wait time is more than 2 minutes, shift to N gear with handbrake applied and turn off the engine. For manual transmission cars when waiting at a traffic light: For manual transmission vehicles during waiting periods, directly press the clutch and brake in first gear. For longer waits, shift to neutral and apply the handbrake. If the stop time is short, the gear lever can remain in D position.
