This reminds me of [the time](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bodybuilding-nutrition-advice-advice/791790) I asked **where I should look** for advice on a subject that’s full of opinions and contradictions, hinting that I **did not want people to give me any specific advice here** because of the obvious discussions and controversies that would follow, I just wanted references to browse. This being the SDMB, it didn’t work.

I just googled  
`waiting traffic light foot pedal drive or park`

and got a few relevant hits, including [this Car Talk discussion](https://community.cartalk.com/t/putting-a-car-in-park-at-stop-lights/117962/10).
