What does a steady yellow arrow indicate to motorists?

  1. Proceed slowly

  2. Prepare to stop

  3. Caution

  4. Turn is prohibited

The correct answer is: Caution

A steady yellow arrow serves as a warning to motorists, indicating that the traffic signal is about to change. This signal prompts drivers to use caution and be alert to the possibility of the light turning red soon. It suggests that they should be prepared to react, either by slowing down or stopping, depending on their distance from the intersection and their current speed. The yellow arrow specifically pertains to turning movements, advising drivers who intend to turn that they should proceed with caution and be aware of upcoming changes to the traffic light. In this context, other responses do not fully capture the purpose of the yellow arrow. While it might hint at the need to prepare to stop, the primary emphasis is on caution, advising drivers to approach the intersection with care and to be ready for any adjustments necessary based on the light change.
