Blinking yellow isn't in the official lexicon AFAIK.
I don't know if they are standardized nationally or internationally. In some areas traffic signals change at night to blinking-red for the cross street and blinking-yellow for the main road; this is intended to be similar to a two-way stop. http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/drivers/vadm/vadm5p.asp -- Shields.
When I got my Massachusetts drivers license (many years ago), they used blinking yellow both ways to mean "caution", and blinking green (yes green!) to mean that the other direction had a blinking red.
