To safely cross the street without being run over by any vehicles, Buzz formulates a strategy, which requires the toys to pull orange construction cones over their heads. Under Buzz's commands, the toys drop the cones and proceed. They cause a massive pile-up on the road, but they make it safely on the other side.
