    Ano ba talagang dapat gawin pag yellow na? Stop or beat it?

    depende po yata kung ano position nyo relative to the intersection. Kasi kung dahil sa yellow light ay magsa-sudden stop ka, mas malaking disgrasya po yun kaysa mag-proceed.

    kapag approaching crossing, slow down and stop.
    kapag nakalampas ka na sa crossing, ituloy mo na.

    yellow traffic light doesn't mean go faster because red stop light is coming next...

    kung sa loob ka pa ng kalsada reduce your speed and stop, but if you are on the line lagpas pedestrian go for it. for sure kutong cop will stop you and you must contest it. sasabihin sa iyo beating the red light. till him your not color blind and you know the traffic signal. yellow means slow down and ready to stop.

    there is no definite answer to your question. it depends on your speed and distance from the intersection.

    This guy right here is definitely right. If you are caught by any kotong cops/boys/girls etc, tell them to read the traffic rules properly. you crossed the intersection on a yellow light not in a red light. if they tell you that you Beat the Yellow light, tell them that there's no such thing.

    Then give him/her the finger. kiddin.

    Nung nasa Japan ako pag yellow ibig sabihin, slow down dahil magrered na.

    Nung nasa pinas na ako, yellow means bilisan mo magrered na

    Red = Slow down then proceed with caution
    Green = Go
    Yelow = Go very fast

    going back, depends on where you're at. kung medyo mabilis ka ta's malapit ka na sa dulo better to floor it at magcross ka na. pero kung malayo ka pa, bagalan mo na wag mo na ipagpilitan na kaya mo pa pasukin. :rofl01:

    - ayos ito ah. hehehe, pero seriously kapag may yellow light na and lampas ka na sa pedestrian crossing, ituloy mo na. May 1 second delay pa yan bago mag-red at yung green light sa - kung saan man susunod na mag-go - ay may 1 second delay din.

    Malas mo lang kapag may nag-green light anticipation. This usually happens dun sa mga drivers na laging dumadaan sa lugar at feeling ay kabisadong-kabisado na ang traffic light sequence/timing. Ngaun may mga traffic llight na may countdown timer na kaya better for us to judge kung slowdown ka na or ibirit mo na... ingatz palagi mga bossing! Remember, when in doubt, don't!

    Actually, best option is to slow down then stop when the yellow light comes on. But if you're traveling at a fairly high speed, konting malabo yun. Last time I did it, I was off my a few inches from the line. Hinuli naman ako for obstruction

    Most annoying feeling parin yun: walang ibang kotse, ikaw lang and a stoplight na "green" but you think is going "yellow". Kung may ibang kotse, unahan! joke..

    coming into an intersection, dapat lagi magslowdown regardless kung green or yellow... di mo masabi may mga driver na porke wala na gaano dumadaan/nagcrocross (dahil matagal na yung go signal na naka-on) eh babanat na yan.

    pagnakita na yung yellow light malayo ka pa lang, slowdown na.
    pagnagyellow light nasa gitna kana ng intersection, tuloy na.

    ang problema minsan mga maloko enforcer tinatangal yellow light... green tapos split-second yellow then pula agad!

    Exactly my issue with the Ortigas/EDSA intersection. Yellow stays on for only a second before going red.

    There is no such thing as "beating" the yellow light.

    What kind of yellow light? As a transition to red, it depends on your location. Proceed if you already in the " intersection box".

    Flashing yellow? It's another story.

    Ganyan din ang kaso sa mga intersections along Julia Vargas St.... Split second lang ang yellow light, tapos red na.... Kaya kung medyo alanganin ka,- puwede kang mahuli ng blocking the intersection or beating the red light..... At, palaging may nakaabang sa iyo....

    But if you're driving a bus along edsa on that part, kahit ibabad mo harang sa ortigas yung bus, kahit abutin pa ng green ulit, di ka huhuliin ng MMDA.

    pero pag private cars dumungaw lang sa pedestrain lane bumper mo... obstruction to pedestrians daw agad...

    that part medyo magulo.huhulihin ako nun pero d nako huminto.kahit yellow pa at nasa gitna ako pinapara ako mga trapik enforcer.baka pag sinabi kong yellow pa baka ipagpilitan na red na.kaya minsan pag hindi ko nakita na kakagreen palang,binabagalan ko na baka kasi matagal na nakagreen at malapit na magred.

    best and most correct answer to the question posted.

    no rocket science involved in this. just common sense.
