Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
The circular signal turns steady yellow as you approach. You can stop safely before the stopping point. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop before entering.
Why
Stop when the yellow appears if you can do so safely. Do not accelerate to beat the red or make an abrupt unsafe stop. If you are already stopped at the line or intersection when the signal is yellow, do not start into it.
