When approaching a flashing yellow light, what should you do?

• A. Stop completely
• B. Slow down and yield to cross traffic before proceeding
• C. Ignore and continue
• D. Speed up to clear the intersection

Answer: (B)

Flashing yellow means proceed with caution. You should slow down, scan for cross traffic and pedestrians, and yield the right of way as needed before continuing. This approach keeps you safe by giving priority to others who may be in or approaching the intersection. Stopping completely isn’t usually required unless someone or something forces you to stop, and ignoring the signal or speeding through would be unsafe choices.
