My experience in Germany was, as a ped, that people re rigid about crosswalks (only during green and within the marked crosswalk), else you risk getting looked askance. I learned to obey the crosswalk signals (rather than take them more as suggested indicators as in the US).
- skrause 9y agoIt's weird that so many people report that. I'm a German who never waits for the green light at crosswalks and I never get any funny looks or comments.
