but for me its more like red, red green.
doesnt matter if i drive bycicle,a car or a truck.
seen way to many redlight (yellow) crashes >_>
rarely ever pass a yellow.
The pedestrian approach defenately makes sense. Watching if a car is coming (and not stopping) is far more important thing to notice than the color of the light. If I'm driving a car I'm far less likely to drive through a red light than if I'm walking simply because as a pedestrian it is far easier to see and hear what is happening than inside a car.
I agree. I almost hit and older pedestrian once. I had a conditional green (green arrow on the side, while the main light is red), so I was approaching the turn. When I was about 3m from it, the lights turned green for pedestrians and an older man just stepped on the crossing, without checking. I stopped like 10cm from him and then he started chastising me and pointing to his green light.
I was like: "man, what's it up to you even if I go to jail for this if you are dead? Just pay a little more attention yourself too, it's healthier for both of us"
