Poll: At a crossing do you wait for the green man?

[Ricochet J]

At a crossing do you wait for the green man?

Or

Do you cross when you think it is safe to do so, even when the man is red?


Poll tbh

Do you cross when you think it is safe to do so, even when the man is red?

^

Move out of my way World, I'm in a hurry!

 

[tntcoder]

It depends.

Usually wait (especially where I am in London atm )

 

[MiNxYyY]

Soon as its safe to cross i walk over.

no need to stand there like a melon waiting to be told you can walk..

 

[Baboonanza]

I won't be kept down by the Man, man!

 

[Ricochet J]

I'll wait for a few responses and give my reasons of why I'm asking.

 

[RJC]

Depends on the road, most of the time I wait for the green man.

 

[PermaBanned]

Depends if there's anything coming

And of course if there's lights where i'm crossing. I'm not just going to wait for a random green man to come along.

You obiously didn't understand the sentance in the opening post which clearly said "Do you cross when you think it is safe to do so, even when the man is red?".

Edit: Just saw your edit.

I cross if it's safe, or press the button if it's not. Really annoys me as a driver people pushing the button even when it's safe for them to cross the road.

 

[Stupot_]

I just shut my eyes and run

 

[Cosimo]

It depends on the level of traffic, around here I usually wait.

 

[Robert1986]

Depends on the road... but what I hate the most is when one person crosses, others start crossing like sheep. That really annoys me when people follow like that.

 

[cheets64]

When its safe, some places you just end up having to wait for the green man.

When I’m in pedestrian mode I do it to annoy drivers.

If there's a kid near by then I wait for the green man, just to be a good role model. Carpe Diem the rest of the days.

With the ridiculously phased crossing sequences in London it's not just the cars that get held up for ages, so while I push the button and wait I'll often get bored and cross when there's a gap.

In the old days it was red man = stop. Green man = cross. Flashing green man = lights are about to change.

Now it's red man, traffic stops, long pause, red man, long pause, green man, neither green nor red man for quite a long time, long pause, red man, long pause, pedestrians become impatient and begin to cross again, traffic roars away from lights and people run...

WTF WERE THEY THINKING? WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD SYSTEM????!11ONE

 

[Wyrdo]

I wait for the green man if my kids are with me other wise I just leg it

Often it's

Press button
Wait for ages
Traffic stops
Wait for ages
Traffic starts again
You get confused and press the button again
Wait for ages
Traffic stops
Green man for 10 seconds or so

I'm a maverick and live life to the max, the green man is a lie.
