  2. Slow down and go on with care
  3. Stop and wait until the lamp turns green
  4. Stop, yield, then go on with care
Show answer

Correct answer: Stop, yield, then go on with care

A flashing red light works like a stop sign. You stop, give way to traffic in the intersection, then go on with care.
