Twice now in the last year I've waited at intersections for the walk signal and when it came on I almost got run over and got beeped and screamed profanities at by drivers taking a right. I guess now drivers believe that they have the right to the road 100% of the time and nobody should ever be allowed to cross, even at crosswalks during the prescribed time for crossing. Drivers have become increasingly hostile in the last several years.
