What does this flashing yellow arrow mean?

The rule

A flashing yellow arrow lets you turn the arrow's way once the way is clear and you have yielded to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians in the intersection.

A flashing yellow arrow lets you turn, but you must first yield to oncoming vehicles and to pedestrians in the intersection. Then turn carefully.

From the Virginia Driver's Manual, section 2, page 5. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
