Which of the following best describes how a driver should treat a flashing red light?
- The driver should treat the light at the intersection like a stop sign (correct answer)
- The driver should slow and proceed with caution
- The driver should stop and await directions from emergency services
- The driver should stop and follow a detour
- None of these
Explanation: A driver should treat a flashing red light as a stop sign. Flashing red lights indicate that the driver should come to a complete stop, check for oncoming traffic, and proceed through the intersection when it is clear. A flashing red light does not imply that the driver proceed with caution. A flashing yellow light indicates that a driver should slow down, look, and proceed with care.
