What does a yellow traffic light indicate?
2 Answers
A yellow light indicates that vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. The legal meaning of a yellow light is "warning." The implication of "warning" is "caution," "alert," and "notification." The following are the meanings of traffic signals: 1. Conveying traffic management information: Lights, waves, sounds, and movements used on roads to convey traffic management information. Common traffic signals include hand signals and light signals. Hand signals are displayed by traffic officers through arm movements, while light signals are displayed by road traffic signal lights. 2. Directing traffic: Traffic lights are an important component of traffic signals and serve as the basic language of road traffic.
I've been driving for almost 20 years now, and I no longer panic at yellow lights. A yellow light is just a warning signal, meaning the red light is coming soon, and you should stop as soon as it's safe to do so. If your car has already crossed the line or slamming the brakes could cause a rear-end collision, just keep going without hesitation. During rush hour, those who rush through yellow lights often cause accidents, and it's even more dangerous in the rain. I must say, yellow lights usually last only two or three seconds, so when driving, you should always anticipate signal changes and get into the habit of observing the traffic around you. New drivers often make the mistake of hesitating, ending up stuck in the middle of the road and causing congestion. Safety first—stop when you should, and don't risk it just to save a little time.
