If the green light goes out and a steady yellow light turns on, are you allowed to continue driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A steady yellow light acts mandatorily like a red light: it indicates that vehicles must stop before the traffic light. The only exception to this rule is safety; if the light change catches you so close to the stopping point that braking abruptly could cause a dangerous situation (such as a rear-end collision), then, and only then, are you allowed to proceed with caution.
