At night, the signal facing you flashes yellow. The signal for the cross street flashes red, and a car on the cross street has stopped at its stop line. What should you do?
At night, A approaches a flashing yellow signal while car B is stopped at the cross-street stop line under flashing red. Two labeled signal details show their different indications.
Correct answer: Slow down, watch the stopped car, and go through with care, ready to stop.
Why
Flashing signals are often used at night or at quieter intersections, with yellow for the main road and red for the cross street. The driver who faces the flashing red must stop and then yield, as at a stop sign, but that driver may misjudge your speed and pull out. Compare: a flashing red means stop first, and a steady yellow means that the light is about to turn red.
