Traffic behavior I hate: Cars that stop in the middle of the street to let a pedestrian cross (even if I'm that pedestrian!)

Sure, fine. It's very nice of you that you stopped to let me cross. You know what? The speeding car going in the other direction? They're not aware of the new rule you just wrote and had legislated into law that says that whenever Raul wants to cross the road, you should stop. So he's going to run me down. But, thanks.

Traffic behavior I hate: I'm at a red light, the split second it turns green a car turns left in front of me. -- nm - Strongbad May 20, 10:24 7
- In Boston that's called "banging a left" and it's considered normal. :) -- nm - loosilu May 20, 10:26 5

    - you gotta be tough to drive there. I think it's way harder than NYC. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 10:28 2

    - you can live, there, just don't ever try to drive there. -- nm - znufrii May 20, 10:28
- You can't wait to *receive* the right of way... you have to TAKE it! -- nm - Dr.Vermin, ;) May 20, 10:25
Hmm. Old law, here. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 20, 10:23
it's the law in some places. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 10:23 2
- Here it's at intersections, but not in the middle of the block. -- nm - psilotum May 20, 10:26
- No jaywalking law in Oregon. Only a law that says you cannot obstruct traffic. You can cross anywhere, so long as cars don't have to stop for you. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 20, 10:24
