Yes, if the walking-person symbol is on the thing, I expect to be able to walk without dodging these megaton deathtraps who want to be one minute earlier to the job they hate. I especially despise that cars are even allowed to turn into a street while pedestrians are crossing. What's the point of the walking-person symbol light if you're gonna allow cars to go through anyway during it? Dumb.
- dumbfounder 7y agoWe have crosswalks without intersections, or without signals, as well as traditional crosswalks at lights with signals and walk signs. I am talking about the ones in the middle of a road with no signals at all. I am not blaming the pedestrians, I am the pedestrian a lot of the time. But blaming half the people for not stopping means that something is wrong. If there are laws that most people do not follow or have trouble following then you need to re-examine the law, no matter who is to blame. I just don’t want my kids to get run over, that is my goal.
