Is it a pedestrian crossing?
Bringing me back to my point. We teach KIDS to look left and right.
I don't just walk out into the road because the green man is flashing, I look to see if there is a car coming. Its a seconds glance to check if there's a bike coming, it's taken longer to type and post an argument than the whole process of crossing safe, using basic common sense and skills we are taught as children, would have taken.
