Under Annex I of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), a flashing amber light does not prohibit you from going: it requires you to take extreme care and, where appropriate, to give way, and it does not exempt you from obeying other signs that require you to stop. It is not the same as a steady amber light or a green light.
