Explanation
If you encounter a red flashing light while driving, treat it like a stop sign. Stop, yield to vehicles from other directions and pedestrians, and proceed only when it is safe. If the red flashing light is at a railroad crossing, it indicates that a train is approaching, and you must stop until the light stops flashing.
