Is the General Warning signal prohibitive?

A general warning is a cautionary visual signal on the aerodrome. It does not by itself prohibit movement. Instead, it alerts you that conditions aren’t normal and you should expect a subsequent instruction communicated by another light signal to tell you exactly what to do. In practice, this warning is followed by the specific signal that dictates whether to stop, proceed with caution, or taxi under control. The other options misstate its purpose: it isn’t an automatic prohibition, it isn’t required to be followed by an audible signal, and it isn’t limited to instrument meteorological conditions.
