    May ibang motorista kasi, akala nila ang ibig sabihin ng yellow light is "Go Faster"

    Dapat talaga pag intersection slow down tayo, kahit green pa. We should drive defensively.

    Hi All!

    Wasn't there a joke before that said:

    The meaning of the colors on a traffic signal in the Philippines:

    Green means go.
    Yellow means go faster.
    Red means go.



    :regards:

    For me, when I see yellow, I try to stop na, kasi it's not worth the ticket hehehe. You never can tell how long that yellow will last. Some are quick to change to red, Some are a little bit more delayed.

    yeah, yellow light dito sa manila sobrang bili magpalit sa red. aabutin ka talaga. kaya ako pag yellow i try to stop na lang pero minsan talga hindi na kaya dinidiretso ko na lang.
    last sunday lang nahuli ako. sa may Lepanto galing akong bustillos. sa mismong intersection kasi me hukay na malalim. green pa nung pagtingin ko, syempre sa hukay hihinto ako at magbabagal, aba paglampas ko sa hukay me 2 enforcer nakaharang na. dalawa kami nahuli, isang pickup na DMax beating the red daw. halatang harang, nakatambay sila dun eh paglampas ng hukay.
    nadaan ko naman sa pasensya. balagbag ang hinto ko eh para makaharang sa sasakyan na dumadaan. mwehehe...

    Alam nyo yung stoplight after SM North going to Monumento? Yung halos di mo na makita yung stoplight dahil sa sobrang baba na pag may SUV sa harap mo eh di mo talaga makikita?

    Madalas na ako napa-flag down dun dahil RED na diretso pa din ako, dumb me. hehehehe di ko kasi makabisado.

    pa post naman po kung where makikita yung proper rules and regulations regarding yellow light para ma print natin at maipakita sa mga buaya na haharang sa atin sa daan. nahuli narin ako nito minsan dyan sa pasay-taft intersection. nasa gina na ako nung nag yellow light kaso hinarang parin ako. laki kasi ng intersection nato kaya may possibility talaga na pwede ka abutan ng yellow light sa gitna.

    That's why it's important to know the rules, so they don't stand a chance if they want to extort from you. There is no such thing as beating a yellow light.

    There are some lights na ambilis rin ng yellow, after one second red kaagad. That's not fair either, the lights should give the vehicles enough time to cross the intersection safely.

    FWIW, for those who are color-blind, red is the top light, yellow is the middle and green is the lowest light. Red and green arrows also follow this, red will always be on top. That is, if the lights are working...

    Pag inabutan me ng yellow light and it's safe to stop, I stop. If not, I don't. In the former, it's best to avoid an argument. In the latter, any argument is worth your safety.

    Akala ko ba bawal na manghuli yang mga MMDA na yan? Di ba pinaaresto na ni Binay yang mga yan?
