What does a flashing yellow light indicate?

A flashing yellow light indicates that drivers should proceed with caution. This signal is a warning that there may be potential hazards ahead or that the intersection may require special attention. It prompts drivers to be alert and ready to react, but it does not require them to stop, unlike a red or stop signal.

In many situations, a flashing yellow light alerts drivers to areas that might be less predictable, such as school zones or construction areas, where extra care should be taken. It is particularly important to reduce speed and be prepared to yield to other vehicles or pedestrians who may be present, ensuring safe navigation through the area.
