What does a yellow traffic light mean?

Stop only if it is safe to do so
Increase speed
Remain stopped
Follow other cars through the intersection

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

A yellow traffic light means that the light is about to turn red and you should slow down and prepare to stop. Option B, increasing speed, is incorrect because it can be dangerous and lead to accidents if you are unable to stop in time when the light turns red. Option C, remaining stopped, is incorrect because it would block traffic and cause congestion. Option D, following other cars through the intersection, is incorrect because it can also be dangerous and lead to accidents if other cars suddenly stop or continue through the intersection when the light turns red. It is important to follow the rule of stopping at a yellow light to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
