Late at night, the signal facing you at an intersection is flashing red. A car on the cross street is close to the intersection. What should you do?
At night, car A faces a flashing red signal. Car B is approaching nearby on the cross street, with its yellow signal shown in a detail beside A’s red signal.
Correct answer: Stop, let the car on the cross street go by, and then go when it is safe
Why
Stop at the stop line; if there is none, stop before the crosswalk or at the point where you can see cross traffic. A flashing red arrow has the same meaning, but only for the movement that the arrow shows. At a railroad crossing, flashing red lights have their own rule: stop at least 15 feet from the tracks and wait until the lights stop.
