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).
A red traffic light means stop, and you must come to a complete stop before the intersection or crosswalk. A flashing red traffic light indicates the same as a regular red light – you must come to a complete stop, but you can proceed when the way is clear after yielding to other vehicles 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.
It means stop first then can proceed if clear
It means stop first then can proceed if clear

3 colours on a traffic light red amber green
A solid yellow light on a traffic signal means to slow down and prepare to stop before the light turns red. It indicates that the light is about to change to red.
Red was chosen to mean stop in traffic signals because it is a color that is easily noticeable and stands out against the surrounding environment. Its association with danger and aggression also helps to convey a sense of urgency for drivers to come to a halt.
When a traffic light blinks red it means 'yield,' so proceed as if it were a four way stop sign. I've never heard of one blinking only yellow.
Amber (or red) in a traffic light sequence means "stop," put the brakes on! Green means "go;" and yellow signifies that the traffic light is about to turn red (or amber), so you should start to slow down and prepare to stop.
A flashing red traffic light is treated the same as a regular red traffic light because it indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop before proceeding.
