Passing target: 80% (32/40)
Late at night, the signal facing you flashes red. The signal for the cross street flashes yellow, and a car on the cross street is about to reach the intersection. What should you do?
At a dark intersection, A approaches a flashing red signal while B is close on the cross street under flashing yellow. Signal details identify the red and yellow indications.
Correct answer: Stop, and let the cross-street car go through before you enter the intersection
Why
A flashing red light is treated like a STOP sign: stop at the stop line, before the crosswalk or before the intersection, then go only when the way is clear. Drivers who face a flashing yellow may go through with caution without a stop, so never assume that they will stop for you. If the signals flash red in every direction, the intersection works like an all-way stop.
