When approaching a flashing yellow signal at an intersection, what should you do?

  1. Reduce speed and proceed with caution

  2. Stop and wait for the signal to turn green

  3. Make a free right turn

  4. Make a free left turn

The correct answer is: Reduce speed and proceed with caution

When approaching a flashing yellow signal at an intersection, you should reduce speed and proceed with caution. This option is the safest course of action as it allows you to continue through the intersection while still being aware of potential hazards. Choosing to stop and wait for the signal to turn green (option B) may lead to confusion for other drivers and disrupt the flow of traffic. Making a free right turn (option C) may be permitted in some cases, but it is not a universal rule and should only be done if the intersection is clear and safe to do so. Making a free left turn (option D) would require you to cross oncoming traffic, which is not recommended when approaching a flashing yellow signal.
