What does a yellow arrow at a traffic light indicate?

  1. Turn in the direction of the arrow

  2. Stop immediately

  3. Proceed through the intersection cautiously

  4. Prepare to accelerate

The correct answer is: Proceed through the intersection cautiously

A yellow arrow at a traffic light signals that the light is about to change to red, and it advises drivers to proceed with caution. This means that while you should be prepared to stop if it is safe to do so, you are allowed to continue through the intersection as long as it is safe. The yellow arrow serves as a warning that the right of way will soon change, and it is crucial for drivers to be aware of their surroundings and make a judgment call on whether to stop or continue moving cautiously. The other options imply actions that might not be appropriate in this context. For example, turning in the direction of the arrow is not advised when the yellow light is on because it indicates a change is coming. Stopping immediately may not be safe if you are too close to the intersection and could lead to an accident. Lastly, preparing to accelerate goes against the cautious nature intended by the yellow arrow, as it encourages drivers to be ready to slow down or stop instead.
