If you cannot stop safely at a yellow traffic light, you should proceed through the intersection cautiously. Ensure that you are aware of your surroundings and watch for other vehicles or pedestrians. It's important to accelerate if necessary to clear the intersection safely without exceeding the speed limit. Always prioritize safety and follow traffic laws.
What should you do when you approach an intersection and the traffic light changes from green to yellow?
When approaching an intersection and the traffic light changes from green to yellow, you should assess your distance from the intersection and your speed. If you can safely stop without skidding, it’s best to do so to avoid entering the intersection on red. However, if you are too close to stop safely, you should proceed through the intersection cautiously. Always be alert for other vehicles or pedestrians that might act unpredictably during this transition.

To keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely. If it were a free for all at every intersection there would be an astronomical number of accidents every day!

When you are coming up to a traffic light and there is a solid white line about two car lengths what does it mean?
A solid white line about two car lengths before a traffic light indicates a stopping point for vehicles. It serves as a guide for drivers to stop safely before the intersection, ensuring they do not impede pedestrian crossings or block the intersection itself. This line helps maintain traffic flow and enhances safety for all road users.
What is an intersection and how should drivers navigate through it safely?
An intersection is where two or more roads meet. Drivers should approach an intersection cautiously, obey traffic signals and signs, yield to other vehicles when necessary, and always be aware of pedestrians and cyclists. It is important to look in all directions before proceeding through an intersection to ensure safety for all road users.
What is controlled intersections?
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).
What does a traffic signal displaying a steady circular yellow light mean?
