Explanation
A flashing red ball (beacon) may be located above stop signs or suspended over the roadway to provide special emphasis. When drivers encounter a flashing red ball, they should treat it as they would a stop sign. This means coming to a complete stop, looking in all directions for approaching traffic and pedestrians, and proceeding only when it is safe to do so.
