FLASHING YELLOW
When we
think about adapting to conditions, we usually think of wind, rain, fog, unusual
road surfaces, or maybe the time of day. Perhaps we should also think of the
flashing yellow light we often see as a reminder of an unusual traffic condition
which may exist. How often do you just roar through these signals giving little
thought to slowing down?
A
flashing yellow light means you may proceed with caution. Most often it is used
at dangerous intersections, congested locations, pedestrian crossings, or in
construction zones. This signal is an obvious warning to an unusual condition.
As you
approach the flashing light, keep your eyes open and analyze the elements that
surround you. Concentrate on seeing and thinking about those elements that are
an immediate threat to your safety. Be ready to react to another vehicle pulling
out ahead of you or a pedestrian running out onto the roadway. Take the time to
observe every hazard, decide what to do about each and then react accordingly.
As good
drivers, we must be ready for the unexpected and above all, recognize those
conditions that are clearly marked. As you can see, the flashing yellow light
should not be taken for granted. It does remind us of an unusual condition that
may require an adjustment to our driving.
Slow
down, approach with caution and be ready to act accordingly.
We
would like to remind you that a flashing yellow caution light is usually an
indication of an unusual condition or traffic situation. It calls for a definite
adjustment in your driving pattern.
As you
approach a flashing yellow light, slow down and be ready to react. Keep your
eyes open and analyze the situation around you. Concentrate on seeing and
thinking about those elements that are an immediate threat to your safety.
Please
remember, the flashing yellow signal does have a purpose. Heed its warning and
be ready to act accordingly.
