I've seen these flashing lights too. However, there are few occasions where there's an extra gap in median in addition to the intersection where the blinking lights are setup.

Trucks are using this gap to join highway, instead of the normal gap near these lights.

I have tweeted to traffic police. Let's see their response

On my recent drive to and from Kanchipuram saw these lights, they seem to indicate a median opening. As you enter Karnataka they do serve the same purpose and my observation was each of these indicators were associated with a road hump. Made it easier to anticipate the road humps.

Re: Blue & white blinking traffic lights in Bengaluru | What are they for?

Similar lights were placed around the outskirts of Chennai since 2019.

It is placed to warn the vehiclists about an intersection for pedestrian crossing without a dedicated signal. Since most state and national highways are poorly lit with highspeed lanes and it's not an intersection for vehicles(small gap in the median which could go unnoticeable and would not show in gmaps), most people are unaware of the junction. These lights make them slow down considerably making it safer for the pedestrians to cross
