What does a flashing red traffic light signify?

Proceed with caution
Stop and yield to traffic
Stop and wait for the light to change
Speed up to clear the intersection

The correct answer is: Stop and wait for the light to change

A flashing red traffic light signifies that drivers must stop and wait for the light to change, similar to a stop sign. This means that all traffic must come to a complete stop at the intersection. Drivers are required to look for oncoming traffic and proceed only when it is safe to do so, ensuring compliance with traffic laws and maintaining safety on the roads. The other options do not correctly represent the meaning of a flashing red light, as proceeding with caution or yielding to traffic suggests that movement may be allowed, which contradicts the requirement to stop. Speeding up to clear the intersection is not safe behavior and is not permissible at a flashing red light. Understanding this rule is essential for safe driving and obeying traffic signals effectively.
