    But the traffic enforcers wouldn't want that to happen, yes? How then could they make their quota?

    Ang nakakaasar niyan,- ang sinusundan mong sasakyan na mabagal ang takbo at ayaw kang pa-overtake-in dahil nakaharang sa dalawang lanes ang sasakyan niya, makakalusot sa intersection dahil yellow na ang ilaw...

    Ikaw naman, unang-una sa pila sa susunod na batch.....

    Most annoying feeling parin yun: walang ibang kotse, ikaw lang and a stoplight na "green" but you think is going "yellow". Kung may ibang kotse, unahan! joke..
    Obstruction? But you were not yet in the adjacent road right? Isn't that one of their made up rules like swerving? AFAIK a vehicle on a zebra stripe is not really a "ticketable" violation. Being inside the yellow box may be. Anyone care to clarify the matter?

    As for the Yellow Light. It means stop if you can.

    Green Light - Proceed
    Yellow/Amber - Stop before the intersection if you can do so safely
    Red - Do not cross intersection

    These are based on international traffic laws.

    If you can stop your car before the intersection without making a panic stop, then you should do so when the Yellow/Amber light goes on.

    there's no such thing as beating the yellow light...unless the traffic enforcer programmed it for short period like say 2-4 secs...what do you call that??? unli here in the phils.:

    Green = Go, Accelerate, Race Light

    Yellow = Panic, Confused, Nervous Light - don't know to stop or go

    Red = Stop, Brake, Stalled Light

    and when the light turns Red (inabutan ka lang sa gitna) ang mga hinayupak na MMDA at TE eh parang Pitstop Crew - always ready to assist you to have your vehicle get on the side road for improper orientation on traffic rules (kasi sila mismo hindi nila alam yun) and indecent proposal (they will tell you hindi rin sa kanila galing ang request mo - palusot pa eh gusto din kunin )...
