What should you do if you are approaching a steady yellow traffic signal?
Correct answer
- Drive through after yielding to traffic.
- Speed up to get through the signal before it turns red.
- Proceed with caution.
Explanation
A steady yellow traffic light is a warning that the traffic light will soon turn red. You should stop if you can do so safely. (Never speed up to try to "beat the light" before it turns red.) But don't stop suddenly and risk skidding or getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution into the intersection.
