Explanation

If a traffic signal is displaying a flashing red light, you must come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way to any vehicles and pedestrians in the intersection. You may proceed when the way is clear. At a railroad crossing, a flashing red light means you must stop completely, even if no train is visible.
