Which traffic light means slow down?
flashing yellow light
A flashing yellow light tells you to slow down and prepare to stop. It is used to warn drivers of danger ahead (e.g. a school crossing). Yield to any vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians in the intersection.
What should you do when coming to a stop at a traffic light?
Get it right and you can come to a halt smoothly, rather than have everyone in the car thrown forward when stopping. And it should be handbrake first to make the vehicle secure before you faff about doing anything else. That way if your foot slips off the clutch you don’t end up rear ending the car in front.
What can I do to slow down traffic?
Replacing a middle turn lane would serve three purposes. One is that it would eliminate a lane, thereby effectively narrowing the street. The second is that it would reinsert the car waiting to make a left turn back into the traffic flow, thereby slowing down traffic.
Is the light rail going to slow down traffic?
One of the objections of adding the Light Rail on a street like Central Avenue was that it would slow traffic. And as predicted, it’s considerably slowed traffic, and that’s a good thing. The Light Rail moves at a relatively slow speed with frequent stops.
Is there a way to slow the speed of light?
When everything is set up just right, the light can be slowed by a factor of 20 million. The process is described in detail in the Feb. 18 issue of the scientific journal Nature. (Warning: Don’t try this at home.) Slowing light this way doesn’t violate any principle of physics.
What’s the best way to stop at a traffic light?
Start with a gentle pressure and increase progressively then as the vehicle slows down gradually release the pressure so that when you come to a halt you are barely touching the pedal (unless on a hill when you need to keep some brake pressure on to avoid rolling off).

What can I do to slow down traffic on my Street?
Go light on the infrastructure. There’s a lot to be said for traffic calming amenities like speed bumps, traffic circles, and chicanes (if you’re not familiar with that last term, this sweet claymation Streetfilm can explain).
