A flashing red light means:

The same as a STOP sign.
Drive with caution.
Go, but yield the right-of-way to other traffic at the intersection.
The light will soon change to steady red.
Explanation

A flashing red light, typically located at or before a dangerous intersection, should be treated the same as a stop sign. You must always come to a complete stop, even if the road appears clear, and check in all directions for approaching vehicles. Proceed only when you are certain the intersection is clear.
