[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make a left turn to get to my office across 2 lanes of traffic. It is at an intersection with a traffic light and crosswalks with walk/no walk lights. This morning I was going to make the turn - I have a green light and the no walk sign is lit but a pedestrian just starts to walk out into the street (of course not paying attention, nose in their phone and earpods in) at the same time that I am turning. I slam on my brakes and a car is coming towards me to go straight through the intersection then has to slam on their brakes, almost hitting me. If the truck approaching the intersection were to hit me because I'm stopped in the middle of the intersection due to a pedestrian walking with a no walk sign, who would be at fault? Thankfully nothing happened this morning, but I feel like it's only a matter of time. There's a lot of foot traffic by my office and I always am on the lookout, but sometimes I have to act quickly to make the left due to traffic. [/quote]

If you had a green left arrow, then there shouldn't have been anybody driving towards you to go straight through the intersection; they should have had a red light.

If you didn't have a green left arrow, then the walk sign should have been lit.[/quote]
