I guess though it is somewhat compensated by allowing traffic turn right on a red.
Still every time I go over the States & drive I find it hard to get used to.
PLUS GAZILLIONS....(if I can vote multiple times)
since I am from a place where the life of pedestrians is ......well.......always at risk
.......I find it very difficult to put my life into the hands of a guy that has a green light at a two ton vehicle........coming right at me...........
I don't care if I know that they are going to stop.....I just sprint away........(Because I know by now that if I just stand there........he/she is going to stop or get pissy or something)
