means nothing Wrong! It means caution. Something requires extra attention. At an intersection, a flashing circular yellow means to take extra caution, and watch for traffic on the cross road (which has a flashing red light). A flashing red light is the same as a stop sign. A flashing yellow arrow means you ma turn in the direction of the arrow, but you must yield to conflicting traffic. If the flashing yellow light is not at an intersection, it either calls attention to a road hazard on an accompanying sign, or indicates that a special regulation indicated on the sign is in effect (School speed limit 20 when flashing).
a red traffic light means stop and a red blinking flashing light means its a stop sign

The flashing yellow lights means proceed with caution.
The red flashing traffic light means that you are to come to a stop, yield to other traffic and then you can procede when the way is clear.
When you see flashing red lights at a 4-way stop Light instead of normal traffic signals you should approach the intersection as if it was a 4-way stop sign, alternating N/S and E/W lanes proceeding through the intersection, one car at a time. Typically this type of situation happens when the traffic signal system is malfunctioning.
A red light - steady or flashing - means STOP. A steady amber light means Caution - signal about to change. A flashing amber light means SLOW DOWN.
stop and proceed when clear, with caution (of course)
stop, its blinking so that u pay extra attention to it because it might be a dangerous intersection
