Texas Car / Permit practice question · Signals & Pavement Markings
A flashing yellow traffic light means:
Answer choices
- slow down and proceed with caution— Correct answer
- stop and wait for a green light
- come to a full stop like a stop sign
- no turns are allowed here
Why this is the answer
A flashing yellow light warns you to slow down and proceed with caution. It is not a stop signal, so you do not need to wait for green, though you must watch for other traffic and pedestrians. A flashing red light is the one that requires a full stop. A flashing yellow arrow means turn left only after yielding to oncoming traffic.
