When you see flashing red lights at a 4-way stop Light instead of normal traffic signals you should approach the intersection as if it was a 4-way stop sign, alternating N/S and E/W lanes proceeding through the intersection, one car at a time.
Typically this type of situation happens when the traffic signal system is malfunctioning.
A red light - steady or flashing - means STOP. A steady amber light means Caution - signal about to change. A flashing amber light means SLOW DOWN.
In the U.S.A it means you have the right of way but proceed with caution.
A flashing yellow signal light means proceed with caution.
It means you should slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. "Slow down and cross the intersection carefully."

means nothing Wrong! It means caution. Something requires extra attention. At an intersection, a flashing circular yellow means to take extra caution, and watch for traffic on the cross road (which has a flashing red light). A flashing red light is the same as a stop sign. A flashing yellow arrow means you ma turn in the direction of the arrow, but you must yield to conflicting traffic. If the flashing yellow light is not at an intersection, it either calls attention to a road hazard on an accompanying sign, or indicates that a special regulation indicated on the sign is in effect (School speed limit 20 when flashing).
A flashing yellow arrow signal means you can turn left, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
The red flashing traffic light means that you are to come to a stop, yield to other traffic and then you can procede when the way is clear.
Traffic approaching the light is to stop. If the way is clear, traffic can then proceed through the intersection.
No, a flashing red light typically indicates a temporary stop or caution, such as at a railroad crossing or traffic signal malfunction, while a solid red light means to come to a complete stop until it turns green.
