A traffic light with the middle yellow light on.

What does a steady yellow light tell you?

  1. Speed up to cross
  2. Stop at once, even in the intersection
  3. Go if no one is near

Show answer

Correct answer: Slow down and stop, unless you cannot stop safely

Yellow means the light will turn red. Stop before the intersection if you can do so safely.
