Question 665 in the bank

What is the meaning of the light appearing in the following traffic light?

A vertical traffic light with three circles: the top one lit red, the middle one lit yellow, the bottom one white and unlit. Meaning: Stop – don't continue driving for as long as the red light is on.
  1. Correct answer: Stop – don't continue driving for as long as the red light is on.
  2. You may continue driving after verifying that the intersection is clear.
  3. Continue driving: Green light will appear shortly.
  4. Drive faster before the intersection with the traffic lights, in order to cross it before the light changes.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stop – don't continue driving for as long as the red light is on.

When the red and yellow lights are on together, the signal warns that green will appear soon, but the red light is still on, so you must stay stopped. You may get ready to move, but you must not start driving until the green light comes on. Even if the intersection looks clear, you may not proceed while red is lit.
