Which signal means the light is about to turn red and you should clear the intersection?

A steady yellow signal warns that the light is about to change to red. It’s your last warning to slow down and prepare to stop so you won’t be in the intersection when it turns red. If you’re already close enough that stopping safely isn’t possible, you should proceed through to clear the intersection, but otherwise you should brake and stop. For reference, a steady green means go, a flashing yellow means proceed with caution, and a steady red means stop and wait.
