australia traffic lights

Ah, Australian traffic lights: the tri-coloured arbiters of our road rage. They typically cycle through red, yellow, and green lights, with some intersections sporting a green arrow for turns. The yellow light warns you to prepare to stop unless you're too close to halt safely – a rule often ignored with dramatic consequences. Pedestrian signals usually accompany them, flashing a walking man or a red hand. For the uninitiated, running a red light in Oz can cost you a hefty fine and demerit points, so unless you fancy a chat with the local constabulary, it's best to obey.
