Must we stop at a traffic light showing a steady amber light?
Signage: Traffic lights
Explanation
The **steady yellow light** on a traffic light has an important meaning for drivers. According to traffic signals, this light **prohibits passage** in a manner similar to the steady red light. However, there is an exception: it allows passage for vehicles that **cannot stop for safety reasons**. This means that if a driver is too close to the traffic light when it changes to yellow and stopping could cause an accident, it is permitted to proceed with caution.
Therefore, the correct answer is that we must stop at a traffic light with a steady yellow light, **except if we cannot do so safely**. This ensures that safety is maintained on the road, avoiding sudden braking that could be dangerous.
