That's great for intersections with signs, but what about when there aren't any street signs or road markings - it is Range Rover first right?

In my experience, where traffic laws are optional depending on proximity to police payday,

Green is go
Red is go faster before the crossing traffic go
Amber may be missing, stolen or optional. But mostly, just confusing.

Traffic police: Turning right on a red not subject to fines
Orm Bunthoeurn | Publication date 16 August 2022 | 19:46 ICT

Passing through a yellow traffic light or turning right on a red when the way is clear are two areas that drivers and over-zealous police officers in the bustling capital cannot seem to agree on, prompting high-ranking officials to weigh in and advise their subordinates to tolerate these two types of misdemeanours, as long as they are done safely.

Municipal police spokesman San Sokseyha has confirmed that a letter was issued on August 13 to traffic police officers instructing them not to fine drivers in such cases.

“If a traffic light is red and they turn right when the way is clear, we should not pursue them and fine them. It almost appears like motorists are targeted at some intersections. As for yellow light runners, they should be educated, especially if there are pedestrians present, but do not fine them,” it said.

Drive or ride safe, road rules are very rarely followed, plus if you have an accident you are going to be in the wrong, due to you should have not been there.
Police stop you for tea money! Last time I was stopped the police claim I run a red light wanted $75. I don't pay them anymore, I ask for a high rank officer to come.

In Cambodia stopping is like a dirty word.

Just be very careful in any country that cannot get the lights in the correct order with red at the top, and green at the bottom...

Nobody: You have to stop, before you can go.

Or if that's too pedantic: Everyone.
