Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe
A flashing red light works exactly like a stop sign — full stop, then proceed when safe. These are common at intersections where traffic is light or at 4-way stops converted from signals overnight.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Treat it like a yellow light — slow and proceedYellow light = slow and prepare to stop; flashing red = full stop like a stop sign.
- C.Stop only if other vehicles are presentFull stop is required regardless of visible traffic; rolling through flashing red is a demerit-points offence.
- D.Speed up to clear the intersection before it turns solid redFlashing red will not cycle to solid red; it stays flashing until maintenance changes it.
