Explanation
A flashing yellow traffic signal indicates that drivers should proceed through the intersection with caution. It serves as a warning to slow down, be alert, and exercise caution when approaching and crossing the intersection. While drivers do not need to come to a complete stop at a flashing yellow light, they should still be prepared to yield to pedestrians, bicyclists, or vehicles already in the intersection.
