What Does a Continuously Flashing Red Light Mean?
1 Answers
At intersections with fewer vehicles and pedestrians, traffic lights often switch to a continuously flashing yellow or red light. This serves as a warning for passing vehicles to proceed with caution and at a reduced speed. Precautions for night driving are as follows: 1. Pay attention to pedestrians and bicycles on the right side during night driving: When approaching an oncoming vehicle within 150 meters, switch from high beams to low beams. If the other driver does not switch to low beams, immediately reduce speed and repeatedly toggle between high and low beams to signal them. If they still do not comply, slow down and pull over to the right to avoid confrontation. Avoid retaliating with high beams, as this can impair both drivers' vision and lead to accidents. 2. Watch for pedestrians crossing from the left side during night driving: In busy urban areas, opposing lanes may be filled with vehicles waiting at a red light. In such situations, pedestrians often dart out from between the stopped cars, crossing the road from left to right. 3. Strictly control your speed: This is a fundamental measure for ensuring safety during night driving. Due to reduced traffic, fewer pedestrians, and bicycles, coupled with the driver's psychological state, it is easy to drive at high speeds at night, increasing the risk of accidents. Drivers must fully recognize the dangers of high-speed driving at night.
