Which statement best describes a flashing red light?

• A. It requires stopping and proceeding when safe, like a stop sign
• B. It is the same as a flashing yellow light
• C. It means proceed with caution
• D. It has no rules

Answer: (A)

A flashing red light means you must stop completely, then proceed when it’s safe. Treat it like a stop sign: come to a full stop, check for cross traffic and pedestrians from all directions, and go only when the way is clear. This is different from a flashing yellow light, which tells you to slow down and proceed with caution, not to stop.
