What does a flashing yellow light indicate?

A flashing yellow light indicates that drivers should proceed with caution and reduce their speed. This signal typically warns of hazards or changes in road conditions ahead, such as a pedestrian crossing, a school zone, or a construction area. The intention is to alert drivers to remain vigilant and prepared to respond to any unexpected situations that may arise as they approach the intersection or area marked by the flashing light. This type of signal does not require a complete stop, but it emphasizes the importance of being aware of the surroundings and ensuring safety while driving.
