Explanation
When you see a flashing red traffic signal, you must treat it the same as a stop sign. This means you should slow down and come to a complete stop before entering the intersection. Check in all directions, yield to other vehicles, and proceed only when you are sure the intersection is clear. Flashing red traffic signals are typically placed in potentially dangerous areas, so you must drive with caution.
