[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The worse are the people turning left when they have a green light (to go STRAIGHT, not to turn). The gun it left only looking at traffic, failing to realize your green light does not mean green to turn, and the pedestrian has the right. [/quote] Also cars turning right on green when the pedestrians have “walk”. I’ve seen cars waiting for me to cross when they have green and I have the right of way, with ignorant, rude drivers behind honking at them impatiently to go while glaring at me. Happened while I was heavily pregnant too. Should the cars with green just these pesky pedestrians over to shave a few seconds off their time? Learn the rules of the road, people.[/quote] I live in Mount Pleasant and this describes the intersection of Klingle Rd/Walbridge Place/Park Rd. The intersection is oddly shaped and is bounded by Rock Creek Park to the north and west, so it's heavily used by commuters entering/exiting Beach Drive and the parkway. Westbound traffic is split into 2 lanes, with the right turning lane having clear signage/instructions to turn right ONLY on the green arrow. I've lost count of the number of times my child and I have had close calls with cars who blow through the red arrow when the "go straight" light is green, or the number of times a car is obeying the sign with 4 cars behind them laying on their horns because the drivers are too dumb or ignorant to read the signs posted.[/quote]
