You are approaching a yellow flashing signal light. You should:

  1. Speed up and get through the intersection

  2. Stop if there is no oncoming traffic

  3. Proceed through the intersection

  4. Stop and wait for a green light

The correct answer is: Stop if there is no oncoming traffic

When approaching a yellow flashing signal light, you should not speed up and try to get through the intersection. This is dangerous because the light is indicating caution. You should also not proceed through the intersection without checking for oncoming traffic, as this could also be dangerous. Stopping and waiting for a green light is also incorrect, as this is the procedure for a solid red light, not a flashing yellow light. The correct option is to stop if there is no oncoming traffic. This allows you to safely check for any possible hazards before proceeding through the intersection. It is important to follow traffic signals and signs to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
