    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...

    no rocket science involved in this. just common sense.

    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.

    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..

    May isang traffic engineer na nagbigay ng suggestion to improve the flow of traffic in Metro Manila

    Dapat daw lahat ng traffic lights naka yellow, kasi Filipino drivers tend to drive fast when they see the yellow light

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