Late at night, the traffic light facing you flashes red. The light for the cross street flashes yellow. What must you do?
At a dark intersection, blue car A approaches a stop line and silver car B approaches on the cross street. Enlarged signals show flashing red for A and flashing yellow for B, with broken lamp outlines and written identifiers.
Correct answer: Stop fully, yield to cross traffic, then go when it is safe
Why
Signals often change to flashing red and yellow late at night, when traffic is light. The side with flashing red must stop and yield, while the side with flashing yellow may continue with caution. If all directions flash red, the intersection works like an all-way stop.
