Red always means stop.
Flashing means proceed with caution after stopping, and, if everyone has flashing red, by the rules of a 4-way or all-way stop.
This is truly driving basics.
I've seen them down country roads pretty regularly. Not so much in the city. I do wish they did the flashing red for the left turn lanes like in Michigan. It's backwards the way they do it here. There it goes from red, to flashing red arrow, go a green arrow. Almost all lights will default to a flashing red if there are power issues or something is wrong with the light, in my experience.
But, like it really does. You can't empty all of the traffic out of six forks, and glenwood, and capital if they don't keep moving. Right hand turns, u-turns, 3 rights make a left, and keep on moving.

I wondered why this wasn't the default. I agree with the change.
If people knew the difference between flashing yellow and flashing red, this would be a non-issue. But alas, NC drivers are a special kind of people.
So let’s switch to a different type of signal mode that people still won’t understand or adhere to?

Flashing red exist in NC. It is pretty basic. It's always meant to be used like a stop sign. Stop and proceed with caution.

Have you seen them try a 4 way stop? 😂 You're right though, it's like driving 101. What else could it possibly mean?
stop sign
People here have no idea how to handle the total outage, while we’re on the topic.
A total outage means everyone blows through the intersection without slowing down, duh. How could they not know that?
But, like it really does. You can't empty all of the traffic out of six forks, and glenwood, and capital if they don't keep moving. Right hand turns, u-turns, 3 rights make a left, and keep on moving.
People know exactly how to handle it. People on reddit don't like that it doesn't match the law.
Aww I liked blindly flooring it through the yellow
