What does a continuously flashing traffic signal indicate ahead?
1 Answers
Yellow light flashing indicates that you need to slow down and observe the road conditions ahead at the intersection, as it is a hazardous section. When the traffic signal at the intersection is a single yellow light flashing continuously, it serves as a warning light. This type of signal alerts drivers to reduce speed, observe the movements of other vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and proceed forward safely without being penalized for running a yellow light or facing fines and demerit points. Below is an introduction to traffic signals: 1. Types: Include motor vehicle signals, non-motor vehicle signals, pedestrian crossing signals, lane signals, directional indicator signals, flashing warning signals, and signals at railway crossings. They can generally be categorized into two types: vehicle traffic control lights and pedestrian crossing lights. 2. Meanings of red, yellow, and green lights: When the red light is on, vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to proceed, and vehicles should wait behind the stop line. When the yellow light is on, vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to proceed, but those that have already crossed the stop line may continue. When the green light is on, vehicles and pedestrians are permitted to proceed.
