When the traffic light indicates a flashing yellow light, you must first come to a halt and then proceed while exercising caution.

When the traffic light indicates a flashing yellow light, you must first come to a halt and then proceed while exercising caution.

• A. True
• B. You may proceed with caution
• C. It depends on cross traffic
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Flashing yellow signals mean proceed with caution, not stop. Slow down, look for pedestrians and other vehicles, and continue through the intersection only when it’s safe, yielding to anyone who has the right of way. You don’t come to a full halt unless there’s a specific reason to stop (like a vehicle or pedestrian in your path), which is why the statement is false.
