Multiple Choice

When you reach a flashing red light, what should you do?

Flashing red lights mean you must come to a complete stop, just like at a stop sign. After stopping, scan for cross traffic and pedestrians in all directions. Only proceed when the intersection is clear and it’s safe to enter. This is why the choice that says stop, check for cross traffic, and go when it’s safe (when it’s your turn to enter) matches the rule: you stop first, then move only when it’s safe. Slowing down, turning left immediately, or waiting for a green signal would not meet the requirement to stop before proceeding.
