[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you also think the regulation doesn't apply when it is raining?

When it is Tuesday?

It doesn't reference flashing lights, so whether the light is flashing is not relevant. If you go before a judge under this regulations, and you say [I]but you see, it was flashing, so obviously it did not apply[/I], you really think that is going to fly?

Really?

I think you have trouble admitting you are wrong, so you make up silly things. That's your problem, not anyone else's.

You (or somebody) said that a flashing hand and a countdown means "don't walk". Where does it say that in DC law?[/quote]

Pedestrians facing a “WALK” signal may proceed across the roadway in the directions of the signal and shall be given the right-of  -way by the drivers of all vehicles.No pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of a “DON’T WALK” or “WAIT” signal.

Now I see why there are so many pedestrian caused accidents ... you don't know the law. [/quote]

You're going around in circles. The question is: where does it say that a flashing hand and a countdown is a "Don't walk" signal? The flashing hand and countdown are part of the walk phase of the signal.[/quote]

According to the MUTCD, there are three different permissible indications on pedestrian signals:

A steady Walking Person signal means that a pedestrian facing that signal can start to cross the roadway towards the signal.
    A flashing Upraised Hand signal means that a pedestrian shall not start to cross the roadway towards the signal, but any pedestrian already in the roadway may finish crossing.
    A steady Upraised Hand signal means a pedestrian shall not enter the roadway in the direction of the signal.

(MUTCD Section 4E.02)

Did you catch that? I was in a bit of disbelief too when I first saw it. But it’s true: the flashing “Upraised Hand” means that you can’t cross unless you are already in the roadway.[/quote]
