Flashing Signals.
Whenever an illuminated flashing red or yellow signal is used in
conjunction with a traffic control device it shall require obedience by
vehicular traffic as follows:
1. Flashing red (stop signal). When a red lens is illuminated with rapid
intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles shall stop at a clearly marked
stop line, but if none, before entering the cross walk on the near side of
the intersection, or if none, then at a point nearest the intersecting
roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the
intersecting roadway before entering the intersection and the right to
proceed shall be subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a
stop sign.
2. Flashing yellow (caution signal). When a yellow lens is illuminated
with rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles may proceed through
the intersection or past such signal only with caution.
3. This section does not apply at railroad grade crossings. Conduct of
drivers of vehicles approaching railroad grade crossings shall be governed
by Section 11-1201 of this Act.
