What should you do if you encounter a flashing amber traffic light?

  1. Come to a complete stop and wait for it to turn green.

  2. Slow down and proceed with caution.

  3. Speed up to clear the intersection quickly.

  4. Treat it as a stop sign and proceed when it is safe.

The correct answer is: Slow down and proceed with caution.

Flashing amber traffic lights indicate caution and require drivers to slow down and proceed with caution, as opposed to stopping completely or speeding up. Stopping completely, as in choice A, is not necessary and could potentially cause confusion or accidents for other drivers who may interpret it as a four-way stop. Speeding up to clear the intersection quickly, as in choice C, is not safe and can lead to accidents. Treating it as a stop sign and proceeding when it is safe, as in choice D, is not entirely accurate as the main purpose of the flashing amber light is to provide caution rather than a stop signal. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate response.
