What does a flashing yellow light mean?

A flashing yellow signal is a warning to proceed with caution. It tells you to slow down and be extra alert for hazards, pedestrians, or other vehicles at the intersection. You don’t have to stop unless something or someone requires it, but you should scan the area and be ready to stop if necessary. This is different from a red light (stop completely) and from speeding through a green signal (which you shouldn’t do).
