Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
As you approach an intersection, the traffic light facing you flashes yellow. What does it tell you to do?
Correct answer: Slow down and go through with extra caution.
Why
A flashing yellow light is a caution signal. You may go through without stopping, but slow down, look both ways, and be ready to yield to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection. Do not confuse it with a steady yellow light, which warns that the signal is about to turn red.
