In Canada yellow means stop, unless it’s too late to stop then you need to get through the intersection during the grace period before it turns red.
Does it mean something else in the USA?
What do you mean? If you entered intersection, you can compl… Right, America. Nevermind.
That’s the legal purpose of a yellow light, yes. However people have been getting worse and worse with actually following it. Now on green I always wait a few seconds for some yahoo to come flying through on the side street claiming he made it on yellow
No red light cameras in your parts? I get this happens, but if it’s this frequent makes me wonder if there’s ever any fines for it? Depending how late it is should be instant licence revokation and fine in my opinion.
A couple decades ago, there was a scandal in, I think, Chicago. They used red light cameras but then kept cutting the timing of the yellow lights, turning it into a revenue generating exercise. People remember.
That sucks (both the people running lights, and the failure in red light cameras) stay safe out there friend.
Yeah, but it literally doesn’t mean that. It just means “warning.”
Edit: in most US jurisdictions, it means warning. TIL about Canada and UK rules. Good thing I never got pulled over there for that. Thankfully the UK has more roundabouts, too.

Same in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus*
*Belarus seems to have multiple exceptions
Yep, same for the UK.
Not going to say about entire Europe, but in RUB countries yellow means stop* like red does.
*unless you are driving bus or few other edge cases
I watched you very carefully. Red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast.
I did not expect a sick Starman reference today.
It’s almost the only thing I remember from the movie to be honest.
I have a soft spot for Karen Allen but it’s not in the top five John Carpenter films.
I remember this from Taxi also
Wasn’t this literally one of Christopher Lloyd’s bits on Taxi?

I bet traffic lights are extremely triggering for Picard. The whole “there are four lights” thing. Plus one of the lights is green which probably reminds him of every borg device ever.
4 lights
I read this to my wife.
Her response was “Stop.”
“No honey, that would be the red light.”
Yellow means stop, unless you are going to fast to reasonably stop before the intersection
She’s right actually
Yeah… the red light/green light game really messed up people’s understanding of what the yellow light is for.
Yellow means stop, red means stop really hard
This joke needs to be delivered by Commander Kruge (from The Search for Spock), not Captain Picard.
Ah, I see you’re a Taxi fan as well.
I hope this idiot doesn’t get driver license
