Question: A flashing red traffic signal means:
Answer options:
- Proceed without stopping ✅ Stop completely, then proceed when safe
- Speed up
- Yield only
Correct answer: Stop completely, then proceed when safe
Explanation: Under the Québec Highway Safety Code, a flashing red light functions exactly like a stop sign. Drivers must come to a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk and may only proceed once they have yielded the right-of-way and determined it is safe. Yielding without stopping is incorrect because a physical stop is legally mandated. Proceeding without stopping or speeding up are dangerous, illegal actions. Recognizing that a flashing red light dictates a mandatory stop is a highly tested concept on the SAAQ theory exam, as misinterpreting signal lights is a primary cause of intersection collisions.
