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.
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).
General rules of the road state that you must clear the intersection by the time the red light illuminates; if there was traffic preventing you from clearing the intersection before you entered it on a yellow light then you should not have entered the intersection because of impediments to traffic.
A flashing red light at an intersection is equivalent to a stop sign. It indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop before proceeding, and they should yield the right of way to any other vehicles or pedestrians before proceeding through the intersection.
