When approaching an intersection with a steady yellow light you should:

Slow down
Stop
Speed up
Proceed through the intersection

The correct answer is: Stop

Approaching an intersection with a steady yellow light is a warning that the light is about to turn red. If you choose to slow down (option A), it may not be enough time to come to a complete stop before the light turns red. Speeding up (option C) is generally not a safe option as it increases the risk of a collision. Proceeding through the intersection (option D) is also not advised as going through a red light is illegal. Therefore, the best and safest option in this scenario is to come to a complete stop (option B) before the light turns red. This allows other drivers and pedestrians to safely cross the intersection before you continue on your way.
