Question: A flashing yellow traffic light means:

Answer options:

  • Stop and wait ✅ Proceed with caution
  • Stop fully then go
  • Left turn only

Correct answer: Proceed with caution

Explanation: Under the Québec Highway Safety Code, a flashing yellow traffic light alerts drivers to slow down and proceed with caution through the intersection, yielding to any pedestrians or vehicles already there. This makes "proceed with caution" correct, as a complete stop is not mandatory. In contrast, "stop fully then go" and "stop and wait" are incorrect because those actions are designated for flashing and solid red lights, respectively. "Left turn only" is incorrect because it relates to specific green arrow signals or lane signs. For the SAAQ theory exam, mastering the distinctions between flashing yellow lights (caution) and flashing red lights (stop sign rules) is highly relevant for passing.
