You must stop at an intersection when you see a:
- Flashing red light. ✓
- Steady yellow light.
- Yellow arrow.
- Flashing yellow light.
Answer: A. Flashing red light.
You must stop at the intersection when you see a flashing red light.
Why this is the answer
The Florida handbook lists a flashing red light under traffic signals and says to treat it like a stop sign: stop, then go ahead when it is safe. Because the light is red and flashing, the required first action is to stop at the intersection; you do not simply slow down or continue without stopping. The same passage treats flashing yellow as a caution signal, not a stop command, so the flashing red light is the one that matches the question.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Steady yellow light. — A steady yellow light is not described in these passages as a signal that requires you to stop at an intersection; at the pedestrian signal it is only a warning to prepare to stop.
- C. Yellow arrow. — The passages mention a flashing yellow arrow for turns, not a yellow arrow that tells you to stop at an intersection.
- D. Flashing yellow light. — A flashing yellow light is a caution signal; the handbook says to proceed with caution, not to stop.
Remember it
A red flash acts like a stop sign: stop first, then move when the way is clear.
