I saw a good idea in Austria years ago, the green light would flash 4 or 5 times before going to amber, gives you more of a chance to pull up.^ This.
Also many continental countries set the lights to flashing amber over night.On that note if green supposedly means proceed with caution then what does flashing amber mean.
You have just answered the question
Its the same
Red Stop
Green proceed with caution
Amber proceed with caution
2 pages and you wonder where the word professional comes from unbelievably that the question even has to be asked on a professional drivers forum
For too many of us I fear it means “Accelerate, as the camera doesn’t go off until you pass the signal full-on Red… There’s still time guv!”
It’s called “Amber Gambling” for a reason.

Amber means stop.Flashing amber means proceed with caution.While the amber means stop rule defeats the object of having an amber light but also why it’s essential to have a flashing green.

Prepare to stop for me
Agree think that’s the official highway code definitions
Amber means stop unless it’s unsafe to do so, or to be precise:
AMBER means ‘Stop’ at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you
have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident
