A flashing amber light on traffic lights typically indicates that drivers should proceed with caution. It signals that they must be aware of their surroundings and yield to any pedestrians or other vehicles in the intersection. In some jurisdictions, it may also mean that the intersection is uncontrolled, and drivers should treat it like a stop sign. Always check local traffic regulations, as meanings can vary by location.
