Yellow Interval

The purpose of the yellow indication is to "warn" drivers that the green interval is ending and that a red interval will follow. In most jurisdictions, vehicles may legally enter the intersection while the yellow indication is displayed. The yellow time varies by speed limit and approach grade. Typically, yellow times range between 3 and 5 seconds. See the BMTE calculator module to calculate yellow interval timing.
