Pedestrian Life is a Life-like cellular automaton in which cells survive from one generation to the next if they have 2 or 3 neighbours, and are born if they have 3 or 8 neighbours.

Patterns

Many patterns from regular Life are compatible with this rule. However, traffic lights are much less common, as most predecessors tend to die, giving the rule it's name.[1]

There are two natural patterns of interest: one is a statorless rotating glider gun. The second is a family of (5,2)c/190 naturally occuring knightships.
