What does a yellow traffic light signify?
A. Stop immediately
B. Move fast
C. Stop if you can do so, safely
D. Slow down

Explanation

Solution

Understanding traffic signs is essential. Traffic signs act as a silent director of the traffic on the road. Any person who has a driving licence and is eligible/suitable to drive a vehicle should have appropriate knowledge of traffic signs. The government made it mandatory/compulsory for any person who wants to obtain a driving licence to be well-versed with the traffic signs.

Complete answer:
a. Red signal means to stop and not go through the crossing.
b. Yellow means you can enter the crossing.
c. Green means to go through the crossing carefully/attentively.
Some traffic lights possess arrows to control traffic turning right or left. Traffic lights showing red light with green right arrow light implies that you should not go straight or turn left. You may turn right.
On the other hand, traffic lights showing red light with red right arrow light imply you must not turn right, but you can go straight ahead or turn left if the way is clear.
Lastly, traffic light showing a red light with flashing amber right arrow light when the yellow (amber) arrow is flashing implies you may proceed but you must give way to any pedestrian who is crossing the road.

Note: Some road Safety Rules And Regulations are:
a. Always Overtake from the right side. When being overtaken by another vehicle, never increase your speed to prevent the other driver from overtaking you.
b. Be extra careful on intersections. Also, when passing by them, make sure your vehicle doesn’t cause inconvenience to other road users.
