Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
On a 30 mph street, the light changes from green to steady yellow. Driver A is 200 feet from the stop line. Driver B's car is already in the intersection. What should each driver do?
A travels at 30 mph with its front 200 feet before the stop line; B is already inside the intersection. An enlarged signal detail shows steady yellow.
Correct answer: A slows and prepares to stop; B goes on at the posted speed
Why
Yellow means the green time is ending and red comes next. Decide early: if you can stop safely before the intersection, stop; if you are already in it, clear it without speeding. A driver who races a yellow light can be in the intersection when cross traffic starts to move.
