You arrive at a traffic signal with a flashing yellow arrow. What does this mean?

Correct answer

  • The signal will soon turn red; turn left only if you cannot stop safely.
  • You can turn left here, but you must first yield to oncoming traffic.
  • You can turn left here; this is a "protected" turn.

Explanation

You can turn left at a flashing yellow arrow. However, you do not have the right-of-way. Oncoming traffic has a green signal, so you must yield before you turn.
