   my point was that most all the traffic laws say to "stop on red" but they do   
   not specifically state that you must wait until the red turns green before   
   going on...

   that's why i have to go with green, and/or yellow with white... the main thing   
   is to be seen when on the side of the road or on a busy construction site with   
   big loaders, haulers and diggers running around...
