If you are approaching an intersection with a flashing yellow light, what does it mean, and what do you do? Yield? Stop? o_0

If the light is red and flashing, you stop like a stop sign--But I have no idea what a yellow flashing light means!
 
Proceed with caution. This is not just California; all 50 states have pretty much the same traffic laws so you can travel from one state to the next and not be confused.
 
It means ,caution and you should slow down to a safe speed like 35 mph and stop if necessary.Could be road crews ahead,men and/or women working.
 
a flashing yellow light means the same as a mallard flapping its left wing. signs and flashing lights don't mean squat to a lot of people in this state so it seems. so just to be safe, do what the guy in front of you is doing. if there's no one in front of you, just proceed wiht your eyes closed and you're about as safe as you would be even with both eyes wide open.

pardon my sarcasm. but i witness some of the most horrid driving on a daily basis in this state.
