Group 9 · Signals, lights, overtaking and railway crossings · Question 61 of 119

Is the driver permitted to continue when the yellow traffic signal turns on or the traffic controller raises an arm?

Choose an answer to check yourself.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Permitted if the driver cannot stop without sudden braking.

Explanation

A yellow light or the controller's raised arm prohibits movement, but drivers who cannot stop at the stop line or other required place without braking sharply may continue. So it is not an unconditional ban (Rules, points 7, 16 and 19).
