What does a flashing yellow arrow mean?

You're only allowed to turn when the arrow is illuminated, not during the gaps in between.  Kind of like a ramp meter, but the sequence is faster.

What does a flashing yellow arrow mean?

It means "prepare to be honked at if you don't know what this light means."
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Christopher Lloyd has to ask that question even slower than the question about a normal yellow light.

It comes from a traffic light which has not updated its browser since mid-2020.

OK, how's this? A racist highway engineer decided to use that style of sign to advise drivers when, and in which direction, to look to see people of East Asian descent exposing their private parts to passers-by. This is consistent with that engineer's use of a flashing red arrow to advise of American Indians doing the same thing and a flashing green arrow to advise of Italians doing so. Apparently, white people and black people flashing passers-by must be routine enough that no sort of signal is needed.

You've encountered a yellow arrow pervert in the red light district.

What does a flashing yellow arrow mean?

It means get your hopes up that you'll be able to make a left turn, only to suffer crushing disappointment when there are no gaps in the oncoming through traffic before the light turns red.

Sometimes, reality is the worst answer.

What does a flashing yellow arrow mean?

It means the driver at the head of the line is going to wait through the whole cycle for a green arrow, even if all opposing thru traffic has cleared. And if it was a leading green arrow instead of a lagging one, you'll all be sitting there for another full cycle. And then someone will have to honk the horn to get the driver up front to wake up and go when the leading left arrow finally appears; only 2 cars will make it through.

It means the same thing as a solid green arrow.

Use caution intermittently when turning left. The rest of the time you can turn left recklessly.

I like how it almost started out as the actual correct answer.
