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.
A red traffic light means stop, and you must come to a complete stop before the intersection or crosswalk. A flashing red traffic light indicates the same as a regular red light – you must come to a complete stop, but you can proceed when the way is clear after yielding to other vehicles and pedestrians.
A flashing yellow arrow light means you may turn left, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
