Question 593 of 1208

What obligations do you have at the yellow intermittent signal of the electric traffic light?

A you stop, because you cannot enter the intersection;
B you reduce the speed and continue your movement with attention, avoiding the pedestrians;
C you reduce the speed and drive respecting the rules applicable in that intersection.

Explanation

The intermittent yellow colour signal allows passing, however the driver of the vehicle is obliged to drive with reduced speed and to respect the meaning of the road signalling and the traffic rules applicable in that place.

For example, if next to the traffic light which has in operation the intermittent yellow colour signal the regulatory priority sign “Give way” is installed, the meaning of the regulatory priority sign will be respected, being obliged to give priority.

This intermittent yellow colour signal can also be encountered in the area of pedestrian crossings, it is formed from a single lighting body and may have applied the image of a pedestrian. This signal warns you about the presence of a pedestrian crossing, in which case you will reduce the travel speed and you will give priority to the pedestrians who are crossing in compliance with the traffic rules or who intend to cross on the pedestrian crossing.

The correct answer is: C
