Flashing red traffic lights

 

Blinking red traffic lights mean stop and pass with caution when once the road is clear. Its meaning is similar to a stop sign, although flashing red lights are placed on faster and wider roads where motorists might have difficulty recognizing a stop sign especially during night time.

It is usually placed at roads with a merging traffic, or at intersections, where the quieter road gets the flashing red light. You must stop completely at the line of the flashing red light and proceed only when the road is clear.
