   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
