It happens all the time! Let's review what to do when a traffic light turns yellow as you approach.

• When approaching a traffic light the lead rider (first in the pace line) should assess the surroundings and announce his/her intentions. If it's green say, "rolling through." If it is red, say, "full stop."
• If there is time to do it safely, when a traffic signal changes from green to yellow, a group’s lead rider (the first rider in the line) should alert all other riders and come to a full stop.
  
• Only if riders cannot safely stop i.e. there is not enough distance to stop in a controlled manner, should they proceed through the yellow light. Assuming we are talking 10 riders or fewer riders, all should follow the lead rider.
• In cases when any rider feels unsafe crossing including if the light has already turned red, he/she should announce (loud and clear) that he/she is stopping and wait for the green light making sure his/her maneuver does not create a problem for riders behind him/her.
• The lead rider(s) should wait for others in the group to catch up once the light turns green again.
