Getting a ticket for jaywalking in Krakow. Who knew you had to wait at a red light

What a load of shite! Surely adults can be trusted to cross roads? If not then they deserve knocked down imo

It's the same in Germany.

Folk who push the button for the crossing and cross before the green man has appeared should be fined imo. Dickheads.

Next to the Waverly Bar in Dumbarton there are a set of lights that would immediately change every time you pressed the button such was the lack of use they had, I would take great joy in pressing the button as a youngster but then just continue walking along the same pavement. The rage from drivers was truly hilarious.

Now, as a driver, I understand the rage.

Folk who don't see a problem with it are either folk who don't drive or outright c***s. There's nothing more infuriating than sitting at a red light at a crossing with no pedestrian in sight.

There are literally dozens, probably hundreds, of things more infuriating.  At worst it is mildly irritating.

It goes beyond mildly. Driving in Dumfries in general is always seethe inducing. I will come across as a roadrager but I'm really not. The number of stupid incidents you see on the road daily down here is incredible. It has to be one of the worst places to drive in the country.

I do not drive. I am also a c**t. I do not see a problem with this still

 

Me neither, and I drive. What's wrong with taking advantage of an unanticipated break in traffic? Waiting out of politeness would be truly weird.

It's not as bad as Dingwall.

Well if you drive and you don't see an issue with it you fall into the second category [emoji14]

If it's a busy road and a break happens to appear I find that annoying but can be a bit calmer. What really infuriates me is the fuds who push the button THEN look to see the traffic. Folk should be able to use their judgement on whether the button needs pushed or not.

I'd be surprised if anyone actually waited if there was no traffic coming. As you say, just for the sake of politeness?  It doesn't make any difference to the car driver, they still have to wait whether the pedestrian waited or not.
