Idaho Written Driver's License Practice Test

When the traffic light changes from green to yellow, the appropriate action is to brake if it's safe to do so; if stopping would be unsafe or impractical, you should continue through the intersection. The yellow light serves as a warning that the light is about to change to red, indicating that drivers should prepare to stop. However, if you are already too close to the intersection when the light turns yellow, it may be safer to proceed than to stop abruptly. This approach encourages drivers to make safe decisions based on their distance from the intersection and the flow of traffic. It emphasizes the importance of assessing the situation rather than following a strict rule that may not be suitable in every scenario, such as coming to a sudden stop in dangerous conditions.
