Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You drive at a moderate speed toward an intersection. The light changes from green to steady yellow while you are still well back from the stop line, and no vehicle follows you closely. What should you do?
Blue car A approaches a stop line well back from an intersection. An enlarged signal has its middle yellow lamp lit. The card states moderate speed and no closely following vehicle.
Correct answer: Stop smoothly behind the stop line, because red comes next
Why
Utah law says a steady yellow light warns drivers that the movement that the green light allowed is ending. A steady yellow light does not mean 'hurry'; it means that the red light comes next. When you have room to stop safely, stop behind the stop line or crosswalk. Watch the signals ahead so that a change to yellow does not surprise you.
