You can turn right when the yellow light is flashing. Traffic conditions permitting, you can turn right under any circumstances, even during a yellow or red light. A flashing yellow light is called a yellow flashing light, which is not a malfunction of the traffic signal but rather a flashing warning signal. The function of the yellow light: The yellow light is used between the red and green lights for two purposes: first, as a warning to alert drivers that the signal is about to turn red, prompting them to stop in time. Second, it provides a delayed buffer transition time, allowing drivers to decide whether to stop before the intersection or continue through it based on their speed, road conditions, and other factors, ensuring driving safety. The duration of the yellow light display: The display time of the yellow light is determined by factors such as the maximum weight of vehicles allowed on the road, the longest braking distance required to stop at the highest permitted speed, the gradient of the road, the farthest visible distance of the signal light, and road conditions. The principle is that when driving at the maximum speed limit, upon seeing the signal change to yellow, the driver must be able to stop before entering the intersection.
