As you approach an intersection and the traffic signal changes from green to yellow, what should you do?

When the traffic signal changes from green to yellow, it serves as a warning that the light is about to turn red. The appropriate response is to assess your ability to stop safely. If you are able to stop without entering the intersection, you should do so. This action not only helps prevent potential collisions but also ensures compliance with traffic laws designed to maintain safety at intersections.

Proceeding into the intersection with confidence, accelerating to clear it, or stopping suddenly in the intersection can lead to dangerous situations. Running a red light by misjudging the timing can result in accidents, injuries, or legal repercussions. Therefore, the correct choice emphasizes making a careful judgment based on your distance from the intersection and the ability to stop safely.
