What is the meaning of a flashing yellow signal?

• A. Stop immediately.
• B. You may turn right after stopping if clear.
• C. Proceed with caution and be prepared to slow down or stop if necessary.
• D. Ignore the signal if traffic is light.

Answer: (C)

A flashing yellow signal means proceed with caution and be prepared to slow down or stop if necessary. You don’t have to stop immediately; you should look for pedestrians and other vehicles, yield as needed, and only stop if a hazard requires it. This differs from a red signal (stop) and a solid yellow (prepare to stop). It also isn’t a signal to ignore; treat it as a warning to proceed carefully through the intersection.
