Flashing yellow light - a time for extra caution

What does a flashing yellow light indicate?

Adapting to conditions means more than just changing you're driving because of changes in weather, the time of day, or the road itself.

It also means reacting when you see flashing yellow lights - an indication that there's a dangerous intersection, congested road or another unusual traffic condition ahead.

Flashing yellow means proceed with caution. Defensive drivers will:

• Slow down, approach with caution, and be ready to act accordingly
• Keep their eyes open and analyze the elements around them
• Concentrate on those that are an immediate safety threat
• Prepare to react to the unexpected action of other vehicles or pedestrians
• Take the time to observe every hazard, decide what to do about each, and react properly
