Traffic laws are always changing, but one thing that has remained the same for decades is the red light blink signal in a car. Drivers know that when they see the signal, it’s time to stop and wait for the green light. But what does the red light blink signal mean?
What is a Red Light Blink?
A red light blink is a signal that tells drivers to stop at a red light. When the light turns green, the blink continues for two seconds to remind drivers to proceed with caution.
When do Red Light Blinks Occur?
When a driver approaches a red light, the light will begin to turn red in order to warn the driver that the traffic stop is coming to an end. However, there are some times when the light will actually stay red for a longer period of time because there is something obstructing the light. This can be a pedestrian, car, or other object. In some cases, the obstruction may be intentional and the driver may be trying to pull into the intersection after running the red light.
Why is a Red Light Blink Important?
A red light, or stop light, warns drivers of a potential danger ahead and allows them time to take appropriate action. When a driver comes to a complete stop at a red light, they are ensuring that they will not be rear-ended by the car in front of them. This is especially important when there are unexpected obstacles in the way such as pedestrians or large animals. If you come to a complete stop at a red light and someone hits you from behind, you can sue them for damages.
