Question: A flashing yellow traffic signal means:

Answer options:

  • Stop ✅ Proceed with caution
  • Reverse
  • Make a U-turn

Correct answer: Proceed with caution

Explanation: Under the Quebec Highway Safety Code, a flashing yellow traffic signal warns drivers of an intersection or hazard ahead, requiring them to slow down and proceed with caution. Unlike a solid or flashing red light, it does not require a complete stop unless oncoming traffic or pedestrians have the right-of-way. Reversing and making a U-turn are driver maneuvers that are not dictated by this signal. Correctly identifying traffic control lights is highly relevant for the SAAQ knowledge test, as candidates are frequently tested on intersection safety and right-of-way rules to ensure safe driving decisions.
