		<description><![CDATA[And I thought it was just my luck to always be behind the misinterpretation of the flashing yellow! What a relief. I would also go one to say that there needs be a sign at Atlanta Avenue and West Howard, because yes you can take a right on red. Many minutes wasted at that intersection.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Dem.  I was one of those who wasn&#039;t sure about what to do at a flashing yellow, so I looked it up in the Georgia driver license manual (found at http://www.dds.ga.gov/docs/forms/FullDriversManual.pdf on page 74).  Supporting your post, it clearly states, &quot;a yellow flashing light means you must slow down and exercise caution before proceeding through the intersection.&quot;

This is compared to a flashing red light, which the manual states, &quot;a red flashing light means you must stop completely, treat as you would a stop sign. Proceed with caution only after yielding the right-of-way to pedestrians and to other vehicles at the intersection.&quot;

So for those drivers who think I&#039;m a jerk for not stopping at a flashing yellow to let them go through the intersection...nyah.  I&#039;m following the law.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I admit to hesitating at a flashing yellow (in the case of traffic lights being out due to a power outage) because you never know when some idiot going across the intersection is going to ignore a flashing red.  I&#039;m not sure what those people don&#039;t understand about a flashing red meaning stop, but I&#039;ve seen it happen many times.

I know the flashing yellow means keep moving, but I slow down and am prepared to stop if need be.  Sorry, I don&#039;t want to be t-boned just to prove a point.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would&#039;ve thought that the meaning behind flashing yellow, flashing red, and no-lights-at-all intersections would be among the handful of rules and procedures that motorists &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; remember.

What gives me the most pause and sometimes disbelief is signs that say, &quot;keep moving, don&#039;t stop.&quot;

I&#039;ve only seen a few of them.  Two are at parking entrances to malls (Perimeter Mall on the Hammond Drive side, near the Marta access light; one at the Northpoint Mall, at the Dillards entrance across from the Regal movie theatre).  The other two are at highway exit ramps (400 N taking the Dunwoody/Sandy Springs north exit...going towards Perimeter Point; I don&#039;t remember where the other one is).

I do not like latter two.  I understand that some cars would never get off the off-ramp, but sometimes, seriously...&quot;i can&#039;t bloody keep moving if there are cars coming from the left at 60 mph.&quot;]]></description>
