TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHTS<br />

A RED light means “STOP” until the green light<br />

appears.<br />

A YELLOW light means “WARNING” and tells you that<br />

the red signals is about to appear. When you see the<br />

yellow, you should stop your vehicle, if you can do so<br />

without danger to other cars, and wait for the green<br />

light before starting. A FLASHING YELLOW light<br />

means “SLOW DOWN” and proceed with caution.<br />

A GREEN light means “GO”, but you must allow any<br />

vehicles remaining in the intersection to go through<br />

before you may move ahead.<br />

A GREEN ARROW permits the motorist to proceed in<br />

the indicated direction without interference from<br />

on<strong>com</strong>ing traffic.<br />

Regardless <strong>of</strong> the traffic signal, you must always yield the right-<strong>of</strong>-way to any<br />

pedestrians <strong>of</strong> other vehicles already in the intersection.<br />
