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.

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.
