Amber light in traffic signals serves as a warning that the light is about to change to red. It signals drivers to prepare to stop if it is safe to do so, rather than proceeding through the intersection. The amber light helps enhance traffic safety by reducing the likelihood of accidents at intersections. Ignoring the amber light can lead to violations or dangerous situations if drivers attempt to rush through the change.
Amber in the traffic signal means caution. Generally, it is best to stop on an amber light.
You must stop
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.
After a solid amber traffic light, the light typically turns red. The amber light serves as a warning that the signal is about to change, urging drivers to prepare to stop if it's safe to do so. In some jurisdictions, drivers may proceed through an amber light if they are already in the intersection or cannot stop safely. However, running a red light is generally considered a traffic violation.
Amber (or red) in a traffic light sequence means "stop," put the brakes on! Green means "go;" and yellow signifies that the traffic light is about to turn red (or amber), so you should start to slow down and prepare to stop.
