Right. I tend to treat stop signs and red lights as yield signs (especially in low traffic conditions) when on foot or bike. I'm sure I'd do the same on scoot

It's a shame no startup can disrupt the outdated tech that is traffic lights, which require people to stop, press a button and wait a minute in an intersection with no traffic going the way they're about to cross.

This technology already exists, city planners are the ones not rolling it out. Many intersections in Vancouver, and its suburbs are pedestrian-controlled. If you push the crossing button, and there is no traffic, the light will immediately turn red, and let you cross.
