What does a solid yellow light indicate?

• A. Indicates approaching red; prepare to stop
• B. Indicates you may speed up to clear the intersection
• C. Indicates you may proceed through the intersection
• D. Indicates upcoming red light; stop unless unsafe to do so

Answer: (D)

A solid yellow light is a warning that red is coming next. It tells you to slow down and be prepared to stop before you reach the intersection. If you can stop safely, you should do so. If you’re too close to stop safely, you may continue through the intersection with caution to clear it. The idea is to avoid rushing through on the last moment or speeding up to beat the red.
