Correct answer
Stop as if it were a red light, provided this can be done safely
With steady amber, stop under the same conditions as for red. The exception applies if, when it comes on, you are so close to the stopping point that you cannot stop before the signal safely enough. It does not authorise accelerating to beat the light and is not equivalent to flashing amber. If continuing is necessary because stopping would be unsafe, proceed cautiously without creating danger.
