What does a solid amber light signify?

  1. Hurry and cross the stop line

  2. Stop if it is safe to do so

  3. Stop at the stop line

  4. Proceed with caution

The correct answer is: Stop at the stop line

A solid amber light on a traffic light signifies that you must come to a complete stop at the stop line. While options A, B, and D may seem similar, they do not accurately represent the specific action that must be taken when faced with a solid amber light. Option A suggests rushing through the intersection, which is unsafe and may result in a traffic violation. Option B states to stop if it is safe, but this is not a complete stop as required by a solid amber light. Option D suggests proceeding with caution, which is not enough when faced with a solid amber light, as a full stop is necessary. Therefore, option C is the correct answer, as it accurately reflects the action required when approaching a solid amber light.
