About
The Horizontal Traffic Light emoji (🚥) is your go-to for those "pause and think" moments when someone needs to pump the brakes on their plans. It's the digital equivalent of saying "hold up" or "let's slow down here," perfect for when your friend is about to text their ex at 2 AM or when a group chat conversation is moving way too fast.
