Is that not OK? In the UK I get the impression you can trundle along at any speed and assume the people in the cars have the decency not to mow you down until their lane is free even if the green man is red now.
Jay-Walking though is crazy as a law. I prefer NOT to use traffic lights where traffic allows.
- bmsleight_ 9y agoWell in UK there is no Jay-Walking Law (Pedestrians have right of way). The crossing time is set at 1.2 m/s, to complete the crossing from the end of the Green.
- bad_hairpiece 9y agoThat's 2.68 mph in freedom units

- DanBC 9y ago> In the UK I get the impression you can trundle along at any speed the regulation is that peds must not delay on crossings. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1997/2400/part/I/crossheading/movement-of-traffic-at-crossings/made http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1997/2400/part/I/crosshea... > 19. No pedestrian shall remain on the carriageway within the limits of a crossing longer than is necessary for that pedestrian to pass over the crossing with reasonable despatch. (I'm not sure this is latest version)
- bmsleight_ 9y agoThat covers standalone pedestrians crossing, junctions is TSRGD. But same principal pedestrians must reasonably cross, but Green -> Only Go if the way ahead is clear..
- ascorbic 9y agoIn the UK there are mostly puffin crossings, which sense when pedestrians are still crossing and hold the lights for them.
