people that stand at the crosswalk button and keep pushing it.
Now, all a crosswalk button does is make sure the hand is replaced by a little person when the traffic light turns. it doesn't make the traffic Light turn any faster. So by standing there pushing it and pushing it and pushing it.......Dumb
the only time that doesn't apply is at a pedestrian light.
my fav is when I've watched a pedestrian push the button, stand, wait for the light to turn......and then they go! even though the little hand is up! Obviously not paying attention, thinking that the button is broken. No. NO its not. The walk guy is not up for a reason. The cars have the left arrow and now you, the pedestrain that Thinks they have the right of way.......has Fucked up traffic!
In the city, there aren't any buttons. Walk signs and hand signs are all automatic. yet you still get the last scenario happening.
When you are in a car you don't follow the traffic lights for the cars in other lanes or going the opposite direction do you? so why would you do that as a pedestrian?
In Vegas - cars have the right of way. They are incredibly respectful to the rights of the pedestrian. However, if you step off that curb when your light is not telling you to do so............you get run over and the driver is saved the same consequences he might see here.
