Question 5586
At a traffic light, the green light goes out and a steady yellow light comes on; may you proceed?
- Yes, in any case.
- No, unless you cannot stop with sufficient safety.
- Yes, because the light has not changed to red yet.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, unless you cannot stop with sufficient safety.
Generally, no. A steady yellow light requires you to stop just like a red light. You may only continue if, when it comes on, you are so close to the traffic light that you can no longer stop safely. The fact that it is not red yet does not give you permission to proceed.
