Traffic signals and road markingsStandalone practice
A B.C. traffic signal shows a flashing yellow light. What must a driver do?

Correct answer: Slow down and proceed with caution
Why
A flashing yellow traffic light means slow down and proceed with caution. Check for pedestrians and traffic before entering; unlike flashing red, it does not itself require a stop when the way is safe.
