Yellow light or arrow

Yellow light or arrow

A yellow light or arrow warns that the light is about to change.

If you are not yet in the intersection. If you are already in the intersection, continue to move cautiously. Never speed up to beat the yellow light.

Important
A steady YELLOW traffic light means the traffic light is about to change to red. You must stop if it is safe to do so. If you are in the intersection when the yellow light comes on, do not stop but continue through the intersection.
