Hi all!

That is actually something I raised when I reviewed the BotP version of the episode. It was never satisfactorily explained. I can only surmise that the Condor threw caution to the wind, transmuted, and did the scientifically improbable 'drive on the sidewalk with everyone and everything getting the hell out of his way' thing. He doubtless had a note from Doctor Nambu excusing him from physics. |

You think there'd be any concern about people getting out of the way? Remember, this is the guy who will not only run over Gallactor members, but will also mow down small children and old ladies with his car. Pedestrians had better odds in Death Race 2000.
On a more serious note, I did a quick check to see if the writers gave any sort of explanation for how Joe got out of his traffic situation in the earlier scenario draft of the story. Sadly, no, they didn't. Instead, their intent was to have Joe face a different obstacle. For those who are interested, here's a quickie translation of that scene:
11. Highway (Night)
Joe’s machine dashes along.
The mercury lamps disappear one after another. A railroad crossing comes near. The signals disappear. In that darkness, a freight train comes to a stop.
12. Close-up of Joe’s face (Night)
13. Railway crossing (Night)
The tires of Joe’s machine squeal as it suddenly makes a sharp turn and speeds in a different direction.
14. The machine’s cockpit (Night)
Joe: Who took out the signal?
Just then, from the bird-shaped Bracelet.
Nambu’s voice: This is Nambu. G-2, take off!
Joe: G-2, roger! Bird Go!
15. Highway (Night)
A rainbow of light flashes out, and from it flies out the G-2.
From there, the action switched to Ken as he transformed, and Joe doesn't appear again until the G-2 is being picked up by the G-5 in a nighttime version of the usual docking sequence.
Equally valid would be asking how Jun and Jinpei also got out of the city, since traffic was probably backed up everywhere. If Jinpei could find a place to transform, then he could fly out, but Jun would not be be so fortunate.
