You have seen me on the street
I am someone you try to meet
But I cut things as soon as I see them
Forming things before I meet them
What am I?

$\begingroup$ Does this depend on the streets of some specific locality/country or is it street in general? $\endgroup$– Tejasva DhyaniSep 5, 2016 at 12:08

$\begingroup$ Something (I) peace or silence (II) gap between something in the road seems to fit very well. $\endgroup$– user29273Sep 11, 2016 at 15:46

Is it a:
Stranger's harsh gaze?
Seen on the street:
People gaze at you on the street.
Try to meet:
You meet the gaze of a stranger on the street.
Cut things as soon as I meet them:
The owner of the gaze pierces and assumes things about the fellow stranger it meets.
Forming things before I meet them:
The gaze (rather, the stranger controlling it) forms opinions.
This is the first time I've been proud of an answer I've posted on this site btw.

1$\begingroup$ It's a good answer! It addresses most of the clues (except the title) and is well formatted. Nice work. $\endgroup$– bg6471Sep 4, 2016 at 4:36

1$\begingroup$ I'm not sure people are very enthusiastic about staring into a stranger's eyes. $\endgroup$ Sep 4, 2016 at 5:20

$\begingroup$ Maybe nobody's enthusiastic about it, but ignoring them would be rude, right? I always meet the eyes of creepy folks, if only to be polite:P $\endgroup$– ToTheMaxSep 4, 2016 at 5:23

1$\begingroup$ These all fit. A stranger's gaze is, in short internalized, so that's how it also fits the title. Good job! $\endgroup$– JohnSep 11, 2016 at 20:22

Traffic Light?

There's lots of you about!
I am someone you try to meet
I try to meet you when you're green
But I cut things as soon as I see them
Yes, your nasty red cuts my progress for other cars!
Forming things before I meet them
Your orange is always busy collecting cars!

Is it a:
Garbage collector machine?
Because:
They are collecting garbage on the streets. People sometimes go for it for pouring garbage stock.
Cut things:
It cuts big pieces of garbage into small pieces.
Forming things before I meet them
New things are made and after their usage, they are again pour into dustbin. For example, plastic cool drink bottle.
