At a traffic light with a flashing yellow light, if a pedestrian is crossing the roadway, what is the correct behavior?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A flashing or blinking yellow light requires all drivers to exercise extreme caution and, where applicable, yield the right of way. Unlike a solid yellow light (which requires stopping if it can be done safely) or a red light (which prohibits passing), the flashing light allows you to proceed after yielding priority. Therefore, the correct behavior is to stop momentarily to allow the pedestrian to cross safely and, once the way is clear, proceed with caution. It is not necessary to wait for a green light, as the traffic light may be configured to flash indefinitely in that state.
