1. Whenever an illuminated flashing red or yellow light is used in a traffic signal or with a 
traffic sign, it requires obedience by vehicular traffic as follows:
a. Flashing red (stop indication). When a red lens is illuminated with rapid 
intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, or, 
if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if 
none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a 
view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering it, and the 
right to proceed is subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a stop 
sign.
b. Flashing yellow (caution indication). When a yellow lens is illuminated with rapid 
intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles may proceed through the intersection or 
past such indication only with caution.
c. Flashing red arrow and flashing yellow arrow indications have the same meaning 
as the corresponding flashing circular indications, except that they apply only to 
drivers of vehicles intending to make the movement indicated by the arrow.
2. This section does not apply at railroad grade crossings. Conduct of drivers of vehicles 
approaching railroad grade crossings is governed by the requirements set forth in 
section 39-10-41.
