You didn't specify moto or pedal driven, but the 'deal' is that neither species wants to have to take their feet of the pegs or pedals when approaching the stop. They will often slow very early and do what looks like a high-wire balancing act to avoid putting the feet down. When they don't get the timing right, or it is a sign, they will often just roll through it. Your're right--red means stop.
