You approach an intersection at 25 mph. The green light turns steady yellow while you are still far enough back to stop smoothly before the stop line. What should you do?
Blue car A approaches an empty intersection with a white stop line ahead. The signal detail has its middle circular yellow lamp steadily lit, and the card states 25 mph and room for a smooth stop.
Correct answer: Stop before the stop line, because a red light comes next
Why
Continue through a yellow light only when you are so close that a safe stop is not possible; then go on with caution and clear the intersection. Watch the light as you approach, so that you can decide early. A sudden stop at the last moment can cause a rear-end crash, and a late entry can cause a side crash.
