Stop signals are red because red is universally associated with danger and alertness, making it an effective color for conveying the need to stop. The visibility of red is heightened in various conditions, including low light, which helps ensure that drivers and pedestrians notice the signal. Additionally, the use of red for stop signs and signals is standardized in many traffic systems worldwide, promoting consistency and safety in road usage.

Red is universally recognised as meaning danger - hence it means stop. Yellow usually represents a warning - in signals - it means 'be prepared to act' Green is accepted as the colour to mean everything is fine. The colours may have had specific meanings but have probably been lost over time.
Red lights in traffic signals and road signs are primarily used to indicate the need to stop or come to a complete halt.
Tail markers and stop lights must be red. Turn signals can be red or amber.
A red light indicator typically signifies stop or danger. It is commonly used in traffic signals to signal drivers to come to a halt.
No, you legally should NOT move until the flashers stop and if there is a stop sign on the bus that it has been retracted. It doesn't matter if a bus driver flags you to go... or signals you to go. If those flashers are red or orange---keep your foot solidly on the brake. Go when the flashers and stop-sign end, AND you can see no other dangers, like a kid in the roadway.
RED!
The color red generally tells you "stop" or "don't." For example, stop signs are red, and a red circle and slash means that the thing pictured on the sign is prohibited. Red is universally regarded as a "warning" colour - DANGER!
