Which statement about yellow caution lights is accurate?

• A. The bus is about to enter traffic
• B. The bus is in emergency mode
• C. The bus is preparing to stop; slow down and prepare to stop; do not pass if red lights are about to activate
• D. The bus has a mechanical fault

Answer: (C)

Yellow caution lights signal that the bus is about to stop and that drivers should slow down and be ready to stop. As these lights flash, you should prepare to stop because red lights will come on to halt traffic and allow children to board or exit safely. The correct statement captures this sequence: slow down now and be prepared to stop, and avoid passing if the red lights are about to activate. Yellow lights are not indicators of an emergency mode or a mechanical fault, and they aren’t a signal that the bus is about to enter traffic; they warn of an impending stop.
