Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: It is a special traffic light before a level crossing. Stop before the crossing and don’t proceed for as long as the light is flashing.
Two red lights flashing alternately are a special signal placed before a level crossing, warning that a train is approaching. You must stop before the crossing and stay stopped for as long as the lights flash, even if no train is visible yet. Speeding up to beat the train is extremely dangerous, and this is not an ordinary intersection light.
