What does a yellow traffic light mean?

Stop
Stop if it is safe to do so
Go
Merge

The correct answer is: Stop if it is safe to do so

A yellow traffic light indicates that the green light is about to turn red. It is a warning for drivers to slow down and be prepared to stop. Option A is incorrect because stopping abruptly when it is not safe to do so can cause an accident. Option C is incorrect since it is the opposite of what the yellow traffic light means. Option D is incorrect because merging is not something that drivers should do when they see a yellow traffic light. The correct option is B because it advises drivers to stop only if it is safe to do so.
