Final answer:

Drivers may continue through a yellow light A) if there are no pedestrians crossing, an emergency vehicle is crossing your lane, they are turning right, or they are already within the intersection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drivers may continue carefully through a yellow light if:

  1. There are no pedestrians crossing. When the light turns yellow, drivers should check for pedestrians in the intersection or about to enter the intersection. If there are no pedestrians present, they can proceed through the yellow light cautiously.
  2. An emergency vehicle is crossing your lane. If there is an emergency vehicle crossing your lane with lights and sirens, you should yield to the emergency vehicle.
  3. They are turning right. If you are in the right-most lane and you intend to turn right, you can cautiously proceed through the yellow light to complete your turn. Make sure to yield to any pedestrians or oncoming traffic.
  4. They already are within the intersection. If a driver has already entered the intersection when the light turns yellow, they can continue through the intersection.
