What should drivers do at a flashing red arrow?

Make a U-turn
Turn in the direction of the arrow after coming to a full stop
Speed up and continue
Yield to pedestrians only

The correct answer is: Turn in the direction of the arrow after coming to a full stop

When a driver approaches a flashing red arrow, the correct action is to treat it similarly to a stop sign. This means that the driver must come to a complete stop at the intersection before proceeding. After stopping, the driver is permitted to turn in the direction of the flashing red arrow, provided it's safe to do so and there are no oncoming vehicles or pedestrians in the way. This traffic signal is designed to imply that there is a designated permitted movement after ensuring safety. The other options do not align with standard traffic regulations. Making a U-turn is generally not allowed at a flashing red arrow unless specifically indicated. Speeding up and continuing is dangerously reckless and violates traffic safety laws. Yielding to pedestrians is important, but solely yielding does not address the need for a complete stop, which is crucial for safe execution of the turn.
