Question 6725

What does a flashing yellow light at a traffic signal indicate?

  1. The same as a steady yellow light.
  2. Exercise extreme caution and yield the right-of-way if necessary.
  3. The same as a red light.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Exercise extreme caution and yield the right-of-way if necessary.

With a flashing yellow light, you must use extra caution and yield when required, for example to a pedestrian crossing the road. It does not require you to stop like a red or steady yellow light, but you must still obey a stop sign or any other sign that tells you to stop.
