==== Issue about yellow light dilemma zone in South Korea  ====
In South Korea, the yellow (amber) light dilemma zone is not legally recognized. In other words, when the amber light is on, traffic may not pass the stop line or enter the intersection, even if the traffic cannot safely stop when the light shows.

In May 2024, this was reaffirmed by the [[Supreme Court of Korea]] ,<ref>{{cite web|title=Supreme Court rules that driver should stop when yellow light turns on even if car is expected to stop in intersection|url=https://english.khan.co.kr/khan_art_view.html?artid=202405141817347&code=710100|editor=The Kyunghyang Shinmun|date=2024-05-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|language=ko|script-title=ko:'갈까 말까' 딜레마존…"안 겪어보면 몰라" 판결에 분통 [사실은]|url=https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage.do?news_id=N1007656713|editor=SBS|date=2024-05-22}}</ref> for a case where the driver was speeding at 62&nbsp;km/h in a street limited up to 40&nbsp;km/h, {{#expr: ((62/40)-1)*100 round 0}} % higher than the allowed speed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-13 |title=The Supreme Court ruled that if a yellow light is turned on at the traffic light just before enterin.. - MK |url=https://www.mk.co.kr/en/society/11014731 |access-date=2024-10-11 |website=[[Maeil Business Newspaper]] |language=en}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|reason=The English version of this website uses automatic machine translation; see [[WP:KO/RS]]|date=November 2024}}

Criticism in South Korea says that this is unrealistic and unreasonable. This can cause multiple collisions due to sudden braking.

In 2016, when speed limit was up to 60&nbsp;km/h, proposed alternatives to this kind of collision were only roundabouts, speed compliance increase and speed practice reduction or elderly zones are also proposed solutions.<ref>{{Cite web| title=Halving the Number of Road Deaths in Korea | url=https://www.itf-oecd.org/sites/default/files/docs/halving-road-deaths-korea.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117155137/https://www.itf-oecd.org/sites/default/files/docs/halving-road-deaths-korea.pdf | archive-date=2021-01-17}}</ref>
