What should you do if you need to slow down while approaching a traffic signal that has turned yellow?

When approaching a traffic signal that has turned yellow, the appropriate action is to stop only if it is safe to do so. This means evaluating the situation carefully—if you are already close to the intersection or cannot stop safely without risking a collision, proceeding could be the better choice. However, if you determine that you can safely stop, it is crucial to do so to avoid running a red light once the signal changes.

This approach allows drivers to make a judgment based on their speed, the distance to the intersection, and the behavior of other vehicles and pedestrians. It promotes safety by ensuring that drivers are not panicking or making quick, unsafe decisions when the light changes.
