Do you stop at a flashing yellow light?

technically a flashing yellow means proceed with caution but that also means you might have to stop. Same with a yield sign.

Another caveat in New Orleans is the other light might not have been set up correctly (which is typically the case) and they might also have a flashing yellow which means you could run into each other. Stopping at a flashing yellow in New Orleans might not be always needed, but it is certainly prudent.
