Is it mandatory to stop at a circular traffic light illuminated with a steady yellow light?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, a steady yellow light acts the same as a red light: it mandates stopping before the traffic light or the stop line. The regulation establishes a single exception: if the vehicle is so close to the stopping point that braking abruptly could cause a dangerous situation (such as a rear-end collision), you are allowed to proceed with caution. It is important not to confuse this with a flashing yellow light, which only requires extreme caution and yielding the right of way.
