RED LIGHT • Always means STOP • Stop behind the double thick white line
YELLOW LIGHT • On a traffic signal does NOT mean: • Slow down • Hurry up and go before it turns red • caution
A Yellow light means: CLEAR THE INTERSECTION!!!! • If you can stop safely it is expected that you do so. • If you are too close to stop safely proceed through
GREEN LIGHT • Proceed with caution • Just because the law says that you have the right of way that does not ensure you a safe path • Delaware is in the top 10 for red light running in the US
Protected Left Turn • All cars in the left turn lane have the right of way • All other cars should have a red light
FLASHING RED Flashing YELLOW
