How should you approach a yellow traffic light?

Approaching a yellow traffic light means that you should slow down and prepare to stop. A yellow light signals that the light is about to change to red, indicating that drivers need to be cautious and ready to halt their vehicles if it is safe to do so. This is an important safety practice to prevent accidents and ensure a smooth flow of traffic.

Slowing down allows drivers to assess the situation and determine whether they can safely stop before the intersection or if they need to proceed through if they are too close to the intersection to stop safely. It promotes responsible driving behavior and helps avoid running a red light, which could lead to dangerous situations or collisions.
