Explanation
A flashing amber light requires you to take extra care and, where appropriate, to give way; it also does not exempt you from obeying other signs that require you to stop (Annex I of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC). It is not the same as a red light or a steady amber light, which require you to stop.
