Flashing red and yellow lights, and traffic beacons
MTO Driver’s Handbook: Traffic Signs and Lights, Flashing red light; Flashing yellow light; Traffic beacons; Flashing red beacon; Flashing yellow beacon
A flashing red light means you must come to a complete stop. Move through the intersection only when it is safe.
A flashing yellow light means you should drive with caution when approaching and moving through the intersection.
A traffic beacon is a single flashing light hung over an intersection or placed over signs or on obstacles in the road. The colour of the beacon decides what it asks of you:
- A flashing red beacon above an intersection or stop sign means you must come to a complete stop. Move through the intersection only when it is safe to do so.
- A flashing yellow beacon above an intersection, above a warning sign or on an obstruction in the road warns you to drive with caution.
