Practice question

What does a pedestrian crossing signal that is flashing yellow mean?

  1. Proceed at normal speed
  2. Stop immediately
  3. Slow down and prepare to stop for pedestrians
  4. Continue without any changes

Answer: C — Slow down and prepare to stop for pedestrians

A flashing yellow pedestrian crossing signal indicates that drivers should approach with caution. This signal is a warning to slow down and prepare to stop for any pedestrians who may be crossing or attempting to cross the road. It emphasizes the need for vigilance since pedestrians have the right of way, and the flashing nature of the signal alerts drivers to the possibility of people crossing the street. Choosing to slow down and prepare to stop is essential to ensure the safety of pedestrians. This response contributes to safer road conditions and reinforces the importance of being aware of others when driving, particularly in areas designated for pedestrian crossings.
