Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Drive with caution when approaching and going through
A flashing yellow signals reduced caution — slow down, scan the intersection for conflicting traffic, and proceed without stopping if safe. It is typically used on minor-approach legs where the cross street has a flashing red stop.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Come to a complete stopFlashing yellow does not require a stop; a solid red or flashing red does.
- C.Yield only to emergency vehiclesAny driver near a flashing yellow must yield if an emergency vehicle is present, but that is not what the light itself signals.
- D.Stop and wait for a green signalFlashing yellow does not cycle to green; it stays flashing until maintenance changes it.
