What does a flashing red light indicate?

Proceed with caution
Stop, proceed with caution
Change lanes carefully
Turn right only

The correct answer is: Stop, proceed with caution

A flashing red light indicates that drivers must stop completely before proceeding, similar to a stop sign. After coming to a complete stop, drivers may then proceed only when it is safe to do so, taking surrounding traffic and pedestrians into account. This rule is critical for ensuring safety at intersections or road crossings where the flashing red light is in use, signaling potential dangers ahead. The necessity to stop is paramount and provides a clear directive for drivers to reassess their surroundings before moving forward. This is especially important in busy areas where the likelihood of encountering other vehicles or pedestrians is high. This command helps to reduce the risk of accidents and ensures that drivers are fully aware of the road conditions before advancing.
