A flashing red light indicates

• A. to stop and proceed only when it is safe
• B. to stop and wait for the green light
• C. to proceed without stopping
• D. to continue driving

Answer: (A)

A flashing red light means you must come to a complete stop and then proceed when it is safe. It functions like a stop sign at an intersection, so you stop, look for cross traffic and pedestrians, and go only when there’s no danger. This is the correct behavior because it prevents collisions with vehicles that have the right of way. Waiting for a green light isn’t required here, since you’re allowed to proceed once it’s safe. Going through without stopping or continuing to drive ignores the stop requirement and is unsafe.
