A speed limit sign with flashing yellow lights is known as a "flashing speed limit sign" or "dynamic speed display sign." These signs are designed to alert drivers to adjust their speed, particularly in areas where conditions may warrant a lower speed, such as near schools or construction zones. The flashing lights serve to capture attention and enhance safety by emphasizing the importance of adhering to the posted speed limit.
