What does a flashing red light signal indicate?

• A. Taxi clear of runway in use
• B. Stop
• C. Return to starting point
• D. Cleared to taxi

Answer: (A)

A flashing red light on the movement area means you must exit the active runway immediately. It’s a warning that the runway is in use or about to be used by another aircraft, so you should vacate the runway and move to a safe area, typically via the nearest taxiway. This signal is specifically about clearing the active runway, not about being cleared to taxi, stopping, or returning to a starting point.
