[Starman is driving the car, and speeds across a recently turned red light, causing crashes for the other motorists]Starman: Okay?Jenny Hayden: Okay? Are you crazy? You almost got us killed! You said you watched me, you said you knew the rules!Starman: I do know the rules.Jenny Hayden: Oh, for your information pal, that was a yellow light back there!Starman: I watched you very carefully. Red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast.
A red light doesn’t mean “stop”. It means “it is not your turn to use the intersection”.
The most-common way to avoid entering an intersection is to stop, but it’s also permitted to move slowly enough that the light turns green just as you reach it, or to turn off on a side road if one presents itself.
Likewise, a green light isn’t a command to shut your eyes and plow straight ahead. A green light grants permission to enter the intersection if it is, in your considered opinion, safe to enter the intersection.

There’s a traffic light at the junction of the Milky Way, and the Andromeda Galaxy?

It’s great to see Walt! Here’s hoping that Jim stays in the Alley and uses the vast array of folks we’ve known and loved for years.

I wish that my remote control had zap rays that you could actually see.
