Explanation: An amber light means "STOP" if it is possible to stop without danger. If the lights were turning green, both amber and red would be showing. Here, there is no danger, no traffic behind and plenty of room to stop in time. There is a risk that the oncoming car, waiting to turn will pull out in front of you, expecting you to stop for amber.
