Quick questions.

[Neoluke]

I'd be greatful if you could answer these:

1) Can you pull away on normal traphic lights as soon as they go orange?
2) Can you LEGALLY go down the centre of the 2 lanes and go to the front when stopping at traphic lights?
3) Can you go down the left side of a car if it's stopped at traphic lights or does it have to be the centre? When I say left, I mean the outside....

Cheers!

Quick answers:

1) No.
2) Yes, providing you don't cross a solid white line or pass the last vehicle before the crossing if there are zig-zag markings.
3) Depends who you ask. Some will say only if the traffic is stationary, others will say never. This includes coppers. You definatley can on a one way street.

All of these are illegal, given the right circumstances.

1. Amber means get ready to go, or stop if you can. Most of time people start to move foward when the light go amber.
2Yes as long as you don't cross a solid white line, again I wouldn't if in view of a police car for same reasons.
3. Believe so, depends mostly on how safely it is done.

With all of these if you've got a cop car in view then I wouldn't though just to not given them a reason for general hassle.

Green means go. Red and amber mean stop.
If you pull off as you get the amber sooner or later you will meet a car comming th other way on amber.

Even if the lights are green it is always worth having a quick look just to see that the traffic has stopped. Fair enough if you get knocked off you're legally in the right but that won't help any broken bones heal faster.

Nope they haven't changed - when the lights are on red, the orange (amber) light will come on at the same time, so as the red is still on you are not supposed to move off, but be prepared to move off instead when they go green.

When they're on green though, only amber comes on meaning to prepare to stop as the red light will soon be appearing - so yes, moving off from a traffic light when it's on amber is actually illegal as the red light is still showing! The other 2 though are down to the situation at the time and can only be deemed an offence if it's considered dangerous by an observing police officer.
