Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Intersections

You arrive at an intersection where the traffic lights are flashing yellow in all directions. What does this indicate?

The answer

  • Turn left only
  • The intersection is closed
  • A pedestrian has pressed the button
  • The signals are not working - treat the intersection as if you have a 'GIVE WAY' sign facing you Correct

Why that's the answer

A flashing yellow at an intersection means the signals are not working properly, and Drive Safe is specific about what to do: treat the intersection as if you have a 'GIVE WAY' sign facing you. That is a stronger duty than giving way to the right. If no light shows at all, slow down, be prepared to stop, and treat it the same way.
