What does a flashing red signal indicate?

A flashing red signal means you must come to a complete stop and then proceed only when it’s safe, treating the intersection as you would at a stop sign. Stop behind the stop line or crosswalk, look for oncoming traffic and pedestrians from all directions, and yield the right-of-way before moving through the intersection. This isn’t a cue to slow down or ignore the light, and you shouldn’t continue without stopping first. After stopping and confirming it’s safe, proceed when the path is clear.
