No, they turn as we're crossing. If you see someone on a corner you turn instead of stopping to let them cross? -- nm

i hate those people who decide pedestrians, who have the right of way, can just wait. -- nm - Andie Jun 4, 09:00 9
- I see it everyday, as I am sure you guys do. - groiny Jun 4, 09:03 8
  - but why is the onus on pedestrians to change their behaviour instead of the driver? yes, i pay attention to avoid death, but, the RESPONSIBILITY is - Andie Jun 4, 09:06 6
    - because not everyone does. You may be careful, but walkers also can cause accidents. - groiny Jun 4, 09:10 5
      - I've seen people run lights five seconds after it turns red, having covered 150m in that time. Pedestrians would be well into the assumption of a safe - Reagen Jun 4, 09:37 4
        
        and stupid people still get hit by trains, which should never happen. -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 09:54 1
        
        Some of which can be prevented by better design - Reagen Jun 4, 09:57
        
        right, as as I said earlier in a thread, the red light camera is no help for that situation. - groiny Jun 4, 09:54 1
        
        If the goal is to make nothing bad happen ever, you'll never do anything. Harm reduction, then try for perfection. - Reagen Jun 4, 09:56
  - especially in larger cities where traffic is SO bad. nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 4, 09:06
the red light camera is not going to stop that. -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 09:00 1
- We were discussing turning at lights so no they won't. -- nm - Krusty Jun 4, 09:06
