What should you do if you see a yellow light while approaching an intersection?

When you see a yellow light while approaching an intersection, the correct action is to stop if it is safe to do so. A yellow traffic light serves as a warning that the light is about to change to red. This signifies that drivers should prepare to stop, ensuring the safety of all road users. By stopping when it is safe, you allow yourself time to assess the intersection and prevent potential accidents that could occur if you were to proceed through the intersection during the red light.

In scenarios where stopping is not safe—such as being too close to the intersection and unable to stop safely—you need to exercise caution and continue through the intersection. However, in general practice, stopping is the advised response as long as conditions allow it. Awareness of the surrounding environment, including the behavior of other drivers, is crucial for making a safe decision.
