What behavior is required by a traffic light with one or two alternating flashing yellow lights?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, a single flashing yellow light or two alternating flashing yellow lights have the same meaning: they oblige the driver to exercise extreme caution. This implies that the driver must reduce speed and be prepared to stop if necessary, giving way to other vehicles or pedestrians with the right of way. It is important not to confuse this with two flashing red lights, which indicate a temporary prohibition of passage (common at level crossings or fire station exits). Therefore, it does not force an immediate stop like a steady red or yellow light, but rather defensive and alert driving.
