caution light
Amber traffic indicator
A caution light is a yellow traffic signal indicating that drivers should slow down and prepare to stop—the interval between green and red.
The term extends to any warning signal that suggests proceeding carefully rather than stopping entirely: Rising interest rates are a caution light for homebuyers.
Also called a yellow light or amber light.
