Traffic Signal Lights - DMV Driver License Test

Card 0 of 3

Question

Which of the following best describes how a driver should treat a flashing red light?

Answer

A driver should treat a flashing red light as a stop sign. Flashing red lights indicate that the driver should come to a complete stop, check for oncoming traffic, and proceed through the intersection when it is clear. A flashing red light does not imply that the driver proceed with caution. A flashing yellow light indicates that a driver should slow down, look, and proceed with care.

Answer

When a driver encounters a downed or non-functioning signal, they should treat it as a stop sign. In this case the intersection should be treated as a four-way stop. The driver should slowly approach the intersection, stop, look both ways, and proceed through the intersection when it is clear.

Question

Which of the following best describes how a driver should proceed when a green arrow turns into a green light?

Answer

When a driver approaches a green arrow that changes to a green light they should yield to oncoming traffic and only turn if traffic is clear. They may not just simply turn because when the light changes opposing traffic are given the right to proceed through the intersection. If the driver were to turn at this time, then they would either cut of or collide with oncoming traffic.
