What does a flashing yellow light indicate at an intersection?

Proceed with caution
Come to a complete stop
Make a U-turn
Slow down and check for cross traffic

The correct answer is: Proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light at an intersection serves as a warning to drivers that they should proceed with caution. This signal indicates that there may be potential hazards or cross traffic present, and drivers need to be alert to their surroundings as they navigate through the intersection. It does not require a complete stop, unlike a solid yellow or red light; instead, it encourages careful observation and slower speeds to ensure safety. Understanding this traffic signal is crucial for maintaining safety on the road. It signals that while it is generally safe to continue driving, the possibility of unseen variables—such as pedestrians or vehicles from opposing directions—demands heightened attentiveness and readiness to react.
