“Traffic lights: Green means go. Red means stop. Yellow is kind of a gray area”

A little off topic but I thought yellow meant haul ass.

Lol. True, that is the rule.

Apparently, in Europe, you get a yellow light right before the green (between the red and green). That is so that you can rev your engines up and be the first off the starting line. Sort of like the Christmas tree light at the drag races.

It does, until you are gray...

...and I'm going further off topic:

Signal green isn't green.

Signal yellow isn't yellow.

Signal red isn't red.

There are very good reasons for this.

Lol!

Yellow is the stomp color; gas or brake is user’s discretion.

"A little off topic but I thought yellow meant haul ass."

A child was once asked about the lights. She said green means go, and red means stop. She was asked about yellow. She said yellow means mom stops, and dad speeds up.

“A little off topic but I thought yellow meant haul ass.”

If the light turns red while I am half way through the intersection the light is “dark orange”.
