Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You come to an intersection where the traffic signal for your direction flashes yellow. You plan to go straight. What must you do?
A approaches an intersection in its eastbound lane. A large single flashing yellow signal is shown above the junction, and no selected path or stop point appears.
Correct answer: Slow down, scan the intersection, and go through with care
Why
Vermont law lets you go past a flashing yellow light only with caution. If you turn left at a flashing yellow light, first yield to all oncoming vehicles. When a signal is out of order and flashes yellow, you must still obey it in the same way.
