Explanation
Approaching an intersection with a flashing yellow light calls for a specific response to ensure safety. The correct action is to slow down and proceed with caution. Yield to any pedestrians, bicyclists, or vehicles in the intersection. Unlike a red light, a flashing yellow light doesn't mandate a complete stop. Instead, it indicates that drivers should approach the intersection at a reduced speed, and be alert before entering the intersection.
