Which two statements correctly describe the meaning of a flashing arrow on a vehicle signal? Select TWO
A flashing arrow light means different things depending on its color (Enforcement Rule, Table 2). Distinguish whether the temporary stop duty belongs to the flashing yellow or the flashing red arrow, and whether a flashing red arrow means 'no proceeding' or 'temporary stop, then proceed'.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
Under Table 2 of the Enforcement Rule, a flashing yellow arrow means vehicles may proceed in the arrow's direction while watching other traffic or safety signs, and a flashing red arrow means they may proceed in that direction with caution after coming to a temporary stop before the stop line, crosswalk or intersection. The duty to come to a temporary stop belongs to the flashing red arrow, so requiring it for the flashing yellow arrow is wrong, and since you may proceed on a flashing red arrow, waiting for the green arrow is also wrong.
