If you are already in an intersection when the light turns steady yellow, what should you do?

When the traffic light turns steady yellow while you are already in the intersection, the correct action is to continue moving and clear the intersection safely. The purpose of a yellow light is to alert drivers that the light is about to turn red, indicating they should prepare to stop. However, if you have already entered the intersection when the yellow light appears, stopping suddenly could create a hazard, including the risk of being rear-ended by another vehicle that may not be expecting you to stop.

Continuing through the intersection allows you to exit the potentially dangerous situation safely. It's important to keep an eye on the surrounding traffic and make sure that it is safe to proceed before continuing. This approach prioritizes safety and helps avoid accidents that can occur from abrupt stops in the intersection.
