This is something that happens quite frequently and when i see it i get really unhappy. Its something very trivial and unimportant but i feel that i should say something about it.
I get very angry when people push the pedestrian button along a pedestrian crossing, not wait for the green man to flash and cross the road while the red man is still on. So this is probably what goes on in the minds of drivers when they stop at a pedestrian crossing and no ones crossing the road, wtf man where are the pedestrians? Ok i get that sometimes some pedestrian crossings are made to turn red to control the flow of traffic so that speeding does not occur or what not when the light just turns red. However its evident most of the time that the green man is flashing and no one's crossing the road.
Why can't people just either cross the road without pressing the button or press the button and wait for the green man to flash. I know that if i want to cross the road and not wait for the green man, i'd just do it and not press the button. But if there are too many cars, i would press the button and wait. Sometimes it gets to the point that the wait is too long and all the cars have passed already and the green man doesnt come on. In this kind of situations, i'd still stupidly wait there for the green man to come on because i don't want to inconvenience road users by doing so when they stop and no one's crossing. I really hate it when people just cross like that without waiting. ARGH it just pisses me off.
Ok thats all i've got to say, i told you it was trivial!
After all that's been said, i'd still like to educate pedestrians that it is NOT SAFE TO CROSS THE ROAD WITHOUT USING THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING! We must all cultivate good habits by using pedestrian crossings, overhead bridges and underpasses. Besides crossing the road without the above stated is against the law. So kids please obey the law! kthxbye!
