    Guy I know says he has green, yellow, and red lights on his transponder--I don't remember a yellow one when I was driving for Central and Gordon--what the heck would that be for?

    The yellow light indicates a problem with the transponder. If you ever see the yellow light flashing you need to contact your company and get it swapped out.

    I've had a pre - pass for 8 years and I have never seen the yellow light come on but the above poster is correct.

    Sometimes the toll booths themselves will flash yellow, instead of red or green, and that means the company needs to check their account.

    Red means stop. Green means go. Yellow means go really fast.

    Yellow is a foul but it is not as big of a foul as a red card would be. If you get to yellows in the same match you have to sit out of the game and your team plays the rest of the match a man down.

    On a traffic light green means 'go' and yellow means 'yield', but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means 'hold on,' yellow means 'go ahead,' and red means, 'where the hell did you get that banana at?'

    If you get a yellow light and the scale is open, you better pull in.
