What must you do when you encounter a flashing red while driving?

A flashing red traffic light is used the same way as a stop sign. You treat a flashing red traffic light the same way you do as a stop sign. If the traffic light is "blacked-out", it's to be treated as an all-way stop. What I do when I come up to a flashing red traffic light, I look at the cross-traffic signals to see if they're also flashing red, or if they're flashing yellow to see if they stop or if they don't stop.

What is the flashing red traffic light for?

Flashing red lights may be permanent or temporary (e.g. when the programmed sequence fails).A flashing red light means STOP, then proceed when safe.If it is a 4-way flashing red, cross traffic will also stop, and the intersection becomes identical to one with stop signs. This is a safety feature in some programmed signals. If only one direction has the flashing red (such as a road that intersects a busy highway), the traffic entering the highway must stop, and never has the right-of-way.* Some international traffic signals use a flashing red in place of steady red, to attract the attention of drivers where there is a profusion of commercial lights.
