When a traffic light in a junction displays a flashing green light:
- A blinking green light indicates the same as a regular green light; hence it shouldn’t be given any special attention.
- Correct answer: It indicates that the green light is about to turn to yellow, in 3 seconds.
- It indicates that the traffic light is out of order and you should follow the signs that are placed in the intersection.
- It indicates that the light turned green a few moments ago and that you can continue driving.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: It indicates that the green light is about to turn to yellow, in 3 seconds.
A flashing green light warns that the green phase is ending and the light is about to turn yellow within about three seconds, followed by red. Slow down and get ready to stop before the junction. It is not a normal green you can ignore, and it does not mean the light is broken or has just turned green.
