Question Analysis
According to the Texas Driver Handbook, a steady yellow traffic signal is a warning that the signal is about to change to red. It does not mean the light will change to green, flashing yellow, or flashing red. The handbook states: 'A steady yellow light means the traffic signal is about to turn red. You must stop before entering the intersection, if you can do so safely.' Therefore, the correct completion is 'steady red'.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: Steady red
A steady yellow signal warns drivers that the signal is changing from green to red. The next light to appear is a steady red light, which requires drivers to stop before the intersection or crosswalk. This is consistent with the Texas Driver Handbook's description of the yellow signal phase.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: Flashing yellow
A flashing yellow signal indicates caution, not an impending signal change. It is typically used to warn drivers to slow down and proceed with caution, and it does not follow a steady yellow light in the normal signal sequence.
Option: Steady green
A steady green light means go, and it precedes a yellow light, not follows it. The sequence is green, then yellow, then red, so a steady green would not appear after a steady yellow.
Option: Flashing red
A flashing red signal means the same as a stop sign: drivers must come to a complete stop and then proceed when safe. It is not part of the standard sequence after a steady yellow light; the next phase is a steady red.
