As you approach an intersection, the traffic signal facing you shows a single flashing yellow circular light. What should you do?
A approaches an intersection controlled by a single circular yellow beacon facing the car. The yellow lamp is lit, and the card states that it is flashing; no route or stopping instruction appears in the question.
Correct answer: Slow down and go through with caution, yielding to vehicles in or approaching the intersection.
Why
A flashing yellow signal has the same meaning as a warning sign, and you do not have to stop unless traffic or pedestrians require it. Cross traffic may have a flashing red light or a stop sign, but do not assume that other drivers will stop. Look both ways before you enter.
