I think people should try to follow norms, too. It's important for people to behave in a generally predictable manner.

I agree with this. But ijmorlan thinks everyone should make their own value judgements about the stupidity of rules. Decide whether to cross a train track mid-block rather than be inconvenienced by a stupid rule. Decide whether to run a stop sign rather than be inconvenienced by a stupid sign. Decide whether to design for accessibility rather than be inconvenienced by a stupid building code. Decide whether or not to park on a bicycle path rather than be inconvenienced by stupid markings.
While I may not agree with all the rules, this is not the kind of society I would want to live in. Sorry if that offends anyone.
