Traffic signals and road markingsStandalone practice
A B.C. traffic signal shows a flashing red light. What must a driver do?

Correct answer: Stop, then proceed only when safe
Why
Treat a flashing red traffic light as a required stop. Stop before the near crosswalk or intersection, then check pedestrians and traffic and proceed only when safe. Do not assume every other approach is also stopping.
