A red flashing traffic light has the same meaning as a:
- Solid red light.
- Stop sign. ✓
- Yield sign.
- Caution sign.
Answer: B. Stop sign.
A flashing red traffic light means the same as a stop sign: stop and proceed when safe.
Why this is the answer
The Florida handbook says a flashing red light is used at dangerous intersections and you should treat it like a stop sign. That direct comparison is why the stop sign choice is right. The required action is to stop, then continue only when it is safe. The passage does not describe it as a yield or caution signal alone.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Solid red light. — The handbook does not compare a flashing red light to a solid red light; it specifically says to treat it like a stop sign.
- C. Yield sign. — A flashing red light calls for a stop and then proceeding when safe, not the yielding action named by the yield sign choice.
- D. Caution sign. — The caution meaning in the passage belongs to a flashing yellow light, while a flashing red light is treated like a stop sign.
Remember it
Red flash: come to a full stop first, then go only when clear—same as a stop sign.
