What does a flashing yellow light mean?

  1. Proceed with caution

  2. Stop

  3. Slow down

  4. Go

The correct answer is: Proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light means "proceed with caution". This means that you should slow down and proceed through the intersection with caution. This option is correct because it reflects the proper response to a flashing yellow light. Option B is incorrect because a flashing yellow light does not mean to stop. This is the meaning of a solid red light. Option C is similar to option A, but is not as specific. A flashing yellow light does not necessarily mean to slow down significantly, but rather to proceed with caution. Option D is incorrect because a flashing yellow light does not mean to go. This is the meaning of a green light.
