Question 556 of 1208

How do you proceed correctly if you are driving straight ahead and the traffic light indicates intermittent yellow light?

A you stop, because at the next switching the red light will appear;
B you reduce the speed, and if required, you give priority;
C you always stop.

Explanation

The intermittent yellow colour signal allows the passing, however the driver of the vehicle is obliged to drive with reduced speed and to respect the meaning of the road signalling and of the traffic rules applicable in that place. Therefore in the given situation you have the obligation to drive with reduced speed and to apply the right-hand priority rule because the intersection becomes one in which the traffic is undirected.

The correct answer is: B
