Correct answer
Stop to let the pedestrian pass and then continue driving.
When you come to a flashing amber traffic light, with one or two flashing lights, you must exercise extreme caution. In this situation, you must be especially alert and prepared to stop if necessary. If a pedestrian is crossing the road, you must give way and stop until they have crossed completely. A flashing amber light does not exempt you from complying with other traffic signs that may be present, such as Stop or Give Way signs.
