A2Difficulty 1/5

Riding your motorcycle, what should your behaviour be when faced with a fixed amber traffic light?

Correct answer

Stop as if it were a red light, if it is possible to do so safely.

A steady (non-flashing) amber light requires vehicles to stop under the same conditions as if it were a fixed red light, unless, when it comes on, the vehicle is so close to the stopping point that it cannot stop before reaching it with a sufficient margin of safety.
