Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
As you approach an intersection, the signal changes from green to a steady yellow light. What does the yellow light tell you to do?
Correct answer: Stop before the intersection if you can do it safely, because red comes next.
Why
A steady yellow signal warns that the green phase is ending and that a red signal will follow, and Vermont law says traffic must not enter the intersection once the red shows. If you can stop smoothly before the stop line or crosswalk, stop. If you are so close that a sudden stop could cause a rear-end crash or leave you in the crosswalk, continue through with care.
