flashers
Emergency warning lights
Flashers are lights that blink on and off, especially the turn signals or hazard lights on a vehicle: Put your flashers on if you're pulling over.
The term also refers to people who expose their genitals in public, typically men who open a coat to reveal themselves to strangers.
Context usually makes clear which meaning applies.
