At an intersection, what does a flashing amber light on a circular traffic signal indicate?

Correct answer

Exercise particular caution, yield when required and obey other signs.

Exercise particular caution and yield when required. Flashing amber does not give priority or exempt you from obeying other signs requiring a stop, such as STOP. If priority is not otherwise regulated, general priority rules apply. It is not equivalent to green and does not always require stopping like steady red.
