Well in that case had the light been red he would have been on time for his appointment, but it would have been canceled due to the entire planet being engulfed in high energy plasma.
Did we ever get this solved? @Buck_Godot
Yes, Folly got it on August 19th.
Full Explanation:
The driver wanted to make a right turn on red, but when the light turned green the pedestrian on his right started crossing the street, so he had to wait for the pedestrian to cross before he could make the turn. If the light had stayed red, the pedestrian would have to wait till it turned green before crossing and the driver could make his turn.
