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 red flashing traffic light means the same as a stop sign: stop, yield the right-of-way, and go only when it is safe.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's traffic-signal section says a flashing red signal carries the same instruction as a STOP sign. That means you bring the car to a halt, give the right-of-way, and continue only after you have checked that it is safe. The same passage treats steady red and flashing red as separate signals, so flashing red is not just another way of showing a solid red. The listed match is the stop sign.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Solid red light. — The handbook lists a solid red light separately from a flashing red light, so the steady red is not the stated match.
- C. Yield sign. — A flashing red requires a stop before you yield and proceed, so it is not the same as a yield sign.
- D. Caution sign. — The handbook connects caution with a flashing yellow light, not a flashing red, so a caution sign is not the match.
Remember it
Red flash, stop-sign task: halt, yield, then go when clear.
