You are driving a vehicle at the speed of 30 km/h. Should you stop the vehicle before the traffic lights in this situation?
💡 Explanation
Correct answer: YES
🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching an intersection where the S-1 traffic light is changing from green to yellow. You are traveling at a speed of 30 km/h.
📖 Explanation of the rule: A yellow signal displayed by a traffic light means that entering the intersection is prohibited. The only exception is if your vehicle is so close to the traffic light that you cannot stop safely without sudden braking. At 30 km/h, your stopping distance is short enough that you can easily and safely stop the vehicle before the traffic light.
💡 Tip: Never treat a yellow light as a signal to "speed up to make it." It is a warning signal requiring you to prepare to stop. Braking smoothly from 30 km/h is safe and signals your intentions clearly to the drivers behind you.
