It is not illegal to run through amber traffic lights if they are the flashing amber lights. Amber lights that occur just before red lights are not illegal to run through, but caution should be observed. A sudden burst of speed to get through the light could cause an accident.
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.

In the United States, the middle light on a traffic light is "Yellow" or "Amber," depending on the regional colloquialism.
No, Flashing your headlight's will have no effect on a traffic signal. The reason a traffic signal changes for emergency vehicles that have the lights flashing, is, they have a special transmitter that tells the light to change. This transmitter is connected to the emergency lights so it comes on when the lights are used.
Flashing amber light means slow down, watch for potential dangers. Flashing red means stop; proceed if and when it is safe.

In the mini cooper, the amber flashing exclamation mark comes on when the tires are low on pressure and the traction changes. Keep on checking the tire pressure to control that.
If there are pedestrians still crossing when the amber light is flashing, the motorist must remain stationary. If there are no pedestrians crossing, the motorist can proceed. (But, be careful of pedestrians taking a chance and attempting to cross when the amber light is flashing - it is best to use caution until the light turns green.)
You must proceed with caution and be prepared to stop if necessary. If it is in a school zone, slow to 20 miles per hour.
