Question 2136

At this intersection with a flashing yellow traffic light, how must a driver act in view of the signs?

  1. They must exercise extreme caution and, if necessary, yield to traffic from both sides.
  2. They must stop, since the traffic light does not exempt them from obeying the posted sign.
  3. They may proceed with caution, since the traffic light exempts them from obeying the posted sign.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: They must stop, since the traffic light does not exempt them from obeying the posted sign.

A flashing yellow light requires extra caution but does not cancel the requirement to obey a stop sign. You must therefore stop and yield.
