Signal face with the middle yellow circle lit and flashing, shown with short rays around it

What does this signal let you do?

  1. Enter the intersection fast, because you have the right of way
  2. Enter only after you stop for 3 seconds
  3. Enter with care, after you yield to pedestrians and vehicles
  4. Enter only to turn right
Show answer

Correct answer: Enter with care, after you yield to pedestrians and vehicles

A flashing yellow signal does not require a stop. You may go with care, but you must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to vehicles in the intersection.
