    Study Notes

    Traffic Light Signals

    • Green Light: Indicates to go; drivers have the right of way if the intersection is clear of vehicles and pedestrians.
    • Yellow Light: Signals to slow down; indicates that the right of way is ending.
    • Red Light: Requires a complete stop; entry into the intersection is prohibited until the light changes to green and the intersection is clear.
    • Red Flashing Light: Functions as a stop sign; drivers must stop and yield as necessary.
    • Yellow Flashing Light: Warns to slow down and proceed with caution; cross traffic must yield.

    Stopping Guidelines

    • Stopping at Traffic Signals: Stop at the solid white stop line or parallel to the stop sign.
    • No Stop Line: If absent, stop before the crosswalk on your side of the intersection.
    • No Crosswalk: If no crosswalk is present, stop before entering the intersection.

    Yield Sign Rules

    • Yield Sign: Requires drivers to slow down and prepare to stop for vehicles or pedestrians with the right of way.
