General Road and Highway Discussion

[ijmorlan]

Pedestrians could really go a step here to help out drivers by obeying the signals, too.  When driving in a busy intersection, nothing irks me more than seeing someone start to cross on a Don't Walk when I could have very safely made my turn.

Totally agree. I will confess to sometimes walking against the red — but my rule is, I only do so when there is no car driver that might even possibly have to think about whether I’m in their way. Which in practice means I would hardly ever do it at an intersection — there is almost always a car somewhere that might be involved.
