Question
Urgent to prevent fisticuffs. Where do I find the information that at a red flashing arrow means STOP and go when safe? My replacement (I'm retiring) says it is a YIELD sign.
Answer
A flashing red arrow at a traffic light is: Stop and turn left when safe to do so and if intersection is clear (give right of way to all vehicles and pedestrians for whom a green light is displayed).
It is NOT a yield sign. The vehicle DOES NOT have right of way or entry into road. National Road Traffic Act, Act 93 of 1996. Volume I and Volume II Traffic signal S1(L)
