What is controlled intersections?
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).

At an intersection where there is a two way stop who would be at fault in an accident if the car that was required to stop and a car crossing that is not required to stop collide in the intersection?
It would be the car that was required to stop. That car should make sure it is clear before going through the intersection.
What does a red traffic mean?
It means you're supposed to stop at that intersection and remain stopped while that signal remains red.It means that you are to come to a complete stop at that intersection, and proceed either when that signal changes to green, or, in the case of making a right turn, when the coast is clear and it is safe to proceed (provided right turns on red are permitted at that intersection).

How should you react to a flashing red light?
Stop completely before entering the crosswalk or intersection. Then, proceed when you can do so safely. Basically, treat the intersection as if there are stop signs at each corner of the intersection.
A flashing red traffic light at an intersection means?
Traffic approaching the light is to stop. If the way is clear, traffic can then proceed through the intersection.
If a car crossing a 4 lane intersection after stopping at stop sign and waiting for traffic to clear was struck in the back after clearing the intersection who is at fault?

A red and white triangular sign at an intersection means?
Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.
What you do on a red stop sign?
You come to a complete stop at the limit line or before entering the crosswalk/intersection of that specific red stop sign.
What are the rules for a stop sign?
The rules for a stop sign are that you must come to a full stop before entering the intersection, give right-of-way to any other traffic, and then proceed only when the way is clear. If there is a stop line, you must stop before that line. If you cannot see oncoming traffic from that stop line, then you must also stop prior to entering the intersection.
