Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are driving toward an intersection when the light changes from green to steady yellow. Which response follows Nebraska law?
Correct answer: Stop before the intersection if you can do it safely; if you are already in it, keep going and clear it.
Why
The standard signal order is green, yellow, red, so a yellow light gives you a short warning before the red. Watch the signal as you approach, so that you can judge early whether you can stop smoothly. A sudden hard stop can cause a rear-end crash, which is why the law lets you continue with care only when a safe stop is not possible.
