Question 978 in the bank

According to the picture, how should drivers before the traffic light behave?

A multi-lane road with cars stopped at an intersection; overhead traffic lights show red and yellow lamps lit together. Meaning: Stop and get ready to start driving.
  1. Correct answer: Stop and get ready to start driving.
  2. Start driving.
  3. Continue driving.
  4. Prepare to stop, because red light is about to appear.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stop and get ready to start driving.

When red and yellow are lit together, the green light is about to appear. Drivers must remain stopped, since moving off is not yet allowed, but they should get ready to start driving and go only once green appears. Red-and-yellow is always followed by green, so starting or continuing to drive now is wrong.
