What does a flashing yellow light indicate?

  1. Stop immediately

  2. Proceed through the intersection with caution

  3. Yield to all traffic

  4. Speed up to beat the light

The correct answer is: Proceed through the intersection with caution

A flashing yellow light indicates that drivers should proceed through the intersection with caution. This signal alerts drivers that they need to be extra vigilant because other vehicles or pedestrians may be using the intersection, and there may be potential hazards. It's a warning that conditions may not be completely safe, and while it does not require a complete stop, it emphasizes the importance of reducing speed and being prepared to react to any situation that may arise, such as other drivers making unexpected moves or pedestrians crossing. This approach encourages safe driving behavior without requiring the drastic measure of stopping, as would be the case with a red light.
