If you are approaching an intersection and see a steady yellow traffic light, you should

Correct answer

  • take a detour to the left.
  • increase your speed.
  • turn back.

Explanation

A steady yellow traffic light indicates that the traffic light is about to turn red. If you are already in the intersection, keep moving and clear the intersection safely. If you are not already in the intersection, stop if it is safe to do so. However, don't stop suddenly and risk skidding or getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution through the intersection. Never speed up to try to "beat the light" before it turns red.
