Question 6717
In this situation, with a flashing yellow traffic light, what must you do?
- Stop to let the pedestrian pass and then resume driving.
- Stop and wait for the traffic light to change to green.
- Stop as if it were a red traffic light.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stop to let the pedestrian pass and then resume driving.
A flashing yellow light calls for extra caution and yielding when required, and a pedestrian crossing at a crosswalk has the right-of-way. In the image, there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk, so you must stop, wait for them to finish crossing and then proceed. You do not have to wait for green, because a flashing yellow light is not equivalent to a red light.
