I am guessing this may be some kind of a holdover from the old pre-1978 system where yellow didn’t mean yield, or transition, but instead meant it was OK to turn left. Sort of like a left arrow.
Not 100% sure, but since Road Traffic Authority website saysSorry, Korean…
Amber light on (NB: Not blinking):
- Signal changing, stop before the intersection.
- (Cars) Permitted to turn right, provided you do not hinder pedestrians.
If your signal had 3 lights (Red – Amber – Green), I am assuming it is case for the second bullet point.
