A red flashing signal tells you to come to a complete stop, then proceed only when it’s safe. You’re not allowed to creep through or treat it as a mere warning. After stopping, check for pedestrians and cross traffic, wait until the way is clear, and then move on. This full-stop-and-go rule keeps intersections safe by giving you a clear chance to see what’s coming before you enter.
