Practice question

What does a flashing red light at an intersection indicate?

  1. Proceed with caution after slowing down
  2. Stop completely and yield to oncoming traffic
  3. Stop only when pedestrians are present
  4. Proceed as if it were a stop sign

Answer: B — Stop completely and yield to oncoming traffic

When encountering a flashing red light at an intersection, the correct course of action is to come to a complete stop and yield to any oncoming traffic before proceeding. A flashing red light has the same meaning as a red traffic light or a stop sign, signaling drivers to come to a stop and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Therefore, the most appropriate action in this situation is to choose the answer option B.
