"There seems to be some confusion on the part of many drivers when they approach flashing red or yellow lights" notes traffic safety officer John Weichmann. Normally such lights are used on highway intersections where exceptional hazards exist although the situation does not justify the use of traffic control signals. The usual installation provides a flashing red signal for one road and a flashing yellow for an intersecting road. To the traffic flow approaching the red signal, it means the same as a stop sign. The flashing yellow signal is a warning or caution indicating the need for reduced speed. This same signalling devise is frequently used in the vicinity of schools. The response by motorists should be the same. The red flashing signal requires a full stop from which you may proceed when the way is clear. Robert R.
