I don't think a guide is really needed to install Linux
I had a guide and it was still a big learning curve. Linus had a guide and he still bricked his machine trying to install Steam. Imagine your parents or grandparents being told without context to mount an ISO to a USB and set up their BIOS - for 90% of people there is no way in hell they're installing Linux without a guide unless they can double click an exe and follow an installation wizard all the way there.
I say we go the other way and allow left on red. If there's nobody in your path you shouldn't have to wait for a stupid light to tell you what to do.
