Question 437 of 554

How will you proceed if, when approaching an intersection, you observe the red and yellow lights of the traffic light lit simultaneously?

A you reduce the speed and continue the road, if you intend to turn right;
B you drive with caution, because the traffic light is defective;
C you stop and wait for the green colour of the traffic light.

Explanation

The red colour signal of the traffic light prohibits the passing. But when the red colour signal operates together with the yellow one, this announces the appearance of the green colour signal. So in the given situation you must stop and wait for the green colour signal of the traffic light, which allows you the passing.

The correct answer is: C
