A flashing red light indicates what action?

• A. Yield to pedestrians.
• B. Stop and remain stopped until the signal changes.
• C. Slow down and proceed with caution.
• D. Stop and proceed only when it is safe.

Answer: (D)

Flashing red means you must come to a complete stop at the intersection, just like a stop sign. Stop before the crosswalk or stop line, then look for pedestrians and oncoming traffic from all directions. Yield to anyone in or approaching the intersection, and only go through when it’s safe. You don’t treat it as a regular red light waiting for a change—instead, you stop fully and proceed only when the way is clear.
