Question 6719
When facing a circular traffic light showing a steady yellow light, are you required to stop?
- Yes, unless it cannot be done safely.
- No, because it only warns that it is about to change to red.
- No, but it does require proceeding with caution.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, unless it cannot be done safely.
Yes. A steady yellow light requires you to stop at the same place as a red light. You may only continue if, when it comes on, you are so close to the traffic light that you could not stop safely. It is not simply a warning that the light will turn red, nor does it allow you to proceed with caution as a flashing yellow light would.
