Explanation
If a traffic light is showing a yellow light, it means it is about to turn red. If you have enough room to gradually slow down without having to brake hard, you must stop. If the light turns yellow as you enter the intersection, you may proceed with extreme caution. If you are in the intersection when the yellow light comes on, do not stop, continue through the intersection.
