Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You approach an intersection where the traffic light shows a single flashing yellow light in your direction. No other light is on. What should you do?
A approaches a two-way intersection. One enlarged yellow lamp has a broken flashing outline; there is no other illuminated lamp and no chosen movement in the question image.
Correct answer: Slow down, look for cross traffic, and go through with caution, ready to stop.
Why
Flashing signals are common at night and at intersections with light traffic. The cross street may show a flashing red light, but do not count on every driver there to stop. Be ready to yield to a vehicle or pedestrian that is already in the intersection.
