The light sequence is: Green: safe to cross. Yellow or orange: continue to cross only if unable to stop safely. Flashing yellow or orange: cross with caution (often used when lights are out of order or shut down). Red: do not cross.

Answer: Soon the signal will turn red.
Explanation: An amber light during the traffic signal indicates that the light is soon going to turn red .
In such a situation we have two option to perform:
1) We should slow down the car before the signal turns red.
2) In some cases if the car is travelling at a higher speed, it is not possible to bring it to a complete halt because of the limited space and time. In such a scenario one should try to speed up and cross the road before it turns red. Often amber lights means slow down but applying the brakes abruptly may lead to an accident.
On the contrary a flashing amber light allows you to drive but cautiously by reducing the speed and keeping an eye on the intersection.
