Explanation
A steady yellow traffic light is a warning that the traffic light will soon turn red. Prepare to stop for a red light. (Never speed up to try to "beat the light" before it turns red.) But don't stop suddenly and risk getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution through the intersection.
