I'm pretty sure that our laws state to proceed with caution if not safe to stop
on a yellow, and to wait out a red light until it is green.  Flashing red is
another matter though

Construction and tow vehicles here have yellow flashing lights, including road
maintenance crews.  Police have both blue and red, while Ambulance and Fire
Trucks have simply red
