Question 3954

A traffic officer swinging a red or yellow light indicates that...

  1. drivers must reduce their speed and exercise extreme caution.
  2. the roadway is completely closed to traffic.
  3. the road users toward whom the officer is directing the light must stop.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the road users toward whom the officer is directing the light must stop.

When an officer swings a red or yellow light, the road users the light is directed at must stop. The color makes no difference: both require you to stop. This signal does not close the roadway to everyone.
