At a controlled intersection, a flashing yellow light means?

Stop and do not proceed
Slow down and proceed with caution
Yield to vehicles already in the intersection
Make a complete stop and then proceed

The correct answer is: Slow down and proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light does not mean to stop completely, as you can see with option A. A flashing yellow light also does not necessarily mean to yield to vehicles in the intersection, as you can see with option C. However, it does mean proceed with caution, which is why option B is correct. It is important to slow down and proceed with caution because other vehicles may also be approaching the intersection from different directions. Option D is also not correct as it states to make a complete stop, which is not necessary at a flashing yellow light.
