What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, vehicular traffic facing a yellow traffic control signal must

stop before entering the intersection unless the stop cannot be made safely. However,

vehicular traffic facing a flashing yellow traffic control signal may enter the

intersection with caution.

This bill clarifies that vehicular traffic facing a flashing yellow arrow traffic

control signal may enter the intersection without stopping after yielding to other

traffic lawfully in the intersection.
