Cevap

Stop and do not proceed past the signal onto the motorway
Under UK Highway Code Rule 258, if red lights flash in pairs on a slip road or gantry signal alongside a red cross, you must not proceed beyond the signal in any lane. This indicates the road ahead is completely closed.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the signal type and color
The signal shows red lights flashing in pairs with a red cross over an entry slip road.
Red flashing lights on motorway signals convey mandatory instructions rather than advisory warnings.
2
Apply Highway Code Rule 258 regarding slip road closures
Alternating flashing red lights on a slip road indicate that the road ahead is closed.
The motorway or slip road is blocked by an incident, making it unsafe and illegal to proceed.
3
Determine the required driver response
You must stop before the signal and find an alternative route without entering the motorway.
Passing a mandatory red stop signal breaches UK traffic law.
