What should you do when you are coming up to traffic signals and the signals change from green to yellow?

In New Zealand, when you approach a traffic signal and the light changes from green to yellow, the correct action is to stop and wait if it is safe to do so (Option 2). The reason for this rule is simple and very important: to ensure the safety of road users. A yellow light is a warning signal indicating that the traffic light is about to turn red, and all vehicles should be prepared to stop. Accelerating to try to pass through the intersection before the red light not only violates traffic rules but also increases the risk of a traffic accident, potentially causing harm to yourself or others. Therefore, New Zealand traffic rules require drivers to assess the current situation when the yellow light comes on, and if possible and safe, they should stop and wait. This helps maintain safety and order on the roads.
