What does a flashing yellow arrow mean?

  1. You may turn turn but you must yield to oncoming traffic.
  2. Your turn is protected since oncoming traffic will have a red light.
  3. You must come to a complete stop and wait for the arrow to turn green.
  4. You have the right of way to turn without yielding.

Answer: A — You may turn turn but you must yield to oncoming traffic.

When you encounter a flashing yellow arrow while driving, it indicates that you may turn in the direction of the arrow, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. This means that you can proceed with the turn after ensuring it is safe to do so and giving the right of way to any vehicles or pedestrians that are approaching from the opposite direction. It's crucial to always be cautious and yield to others when necessary, even when you have a flashing yellow arrow.
