Bicycle ordinance violations, blocking or retarding traffic, and crossing yellow line, driving left of center.
Yellow lines mark the center of a road used for two-way traffic.
Flashing traffic lights are used when the control system is not functioning properly, or when there is very low level traffic (to the point that lights become unnecessary).
Double yellow continuous lines means stay in your lane, which is the right hand lane on a 2-lane road in the United States. You are not permitted to cross double yellow continuous lines. In some jurisdictions, the police will ticket you if your tire even comes close to or touches the double yellow lines because you are encroaching on the opposite lane's space.
When two parallel solid yellow lines separate lanes of traffic, the only legal maneuver you can perform is turning left into a driveway on the opposite side of the road.
General rules of the road state that you must clear the intersection by the time the red light illuminates; if there was traffic preventing you from clearing the intersection before you entered it on a yellow light then you should not have entered the intersection because of impediments to traffic.
When approaching a signalized intersection at high speeds and the light turns yellow, the dilemma zone is the space from the intersection to the point on the road where it may be difficult for the driver to discern whether they should run the yellow light or brake to be safe.

Do not enter the intersection.
It means you should slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. "Slow down and cross the intersection carefully."

Under the "Following too closely" law the driver from behind is at fault.
It means you should slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. "Slow down and cross the intersection carefully."
By "amber" I assume you mean yellow. A yellow traffic light indicates that your "right of way" is ending within the next couple seconds. When the light turns yellow you shouldn't enter the intersection if you haven't already, unless you've reached "The point of no return". It's not illegal to go through the intersection while the traffic light is yellow, but if you can stop you should, if you can't stop then go through the intersection (determined by your own judgement). A yellow light is basically a warning of a red light coming, where it is illegal to proceed through the intersection. The duration of a yellow light depends on the road the traffic light is governing. For a side road the traffic light may only show a yellow for around 3 seconds, for a major road such as a state road or US Highway, the traffic light may show a yellow for 4-6 seconds. These timings all depend on the road that the traffic light is governing and what the speed limit is for that road.
A traffic signal displaying a steady circular yellow light means that you should use caution when going through the intersection. You have the right away, but watch for other cars.
When you see a flashing yellow light at an intersection you should proceed with caution.
Lights are situated as red, yellow, green. In complicated traffic patterns, lights can be arrows, or the /do not/ indicators. When a traffic light is non-functioning at an intersection, the first to the right has right of way, and each driver from each of the 4 sides takes a turn in that order.
If you're in the intersection and it is green then turns to yellow/red, it is fine to go. Entering the intersection after it is already yellow is unlawful driving. GA
