In Loving Memory of Square Checkbox

I've been in moving vehicles where opening the door would have been unsafe more than I've been in car fires. I often lock my car when leaving as well which usually unlocked is a bad state to leave it in, that normally happens more often than being in a burning car.

Are you in burning cars often?

Honestly, if I’m in the car and we’re driving then I want to see a red light for same reason: red means stop and green means go. Or from outside after parking it: will this door open or will it stop somebody.

Red also often means "danger, caution" not just "stop". A red stop sign means "pay extreme attention here, there's danger, please stop and evaluate". A red DO NOT ENTER sign isn't just saying to stop, its saying there's danger heading that direction. If you just stop there its probably not going to end well, So clearly they're signaling more than just "stop".

I'm still unsure, have you been in many burning cars before? More than just moving vehicles?
