[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your time to cross, typically coincides with the car's time to turn.  I work in the Farragut West area, if drivers waited for the cross walk to be completely free to turn, MAYBE one car could go with every light change.  Traffic would be even worse than it is now.

And for those who intentionally slow down, what is wrong with you? As long as the car isn't doing something illegal (like running a red light) quickly cross so everyone can get where they are going.

These are types of pedestrians who seem to want "But I had the right of way" printed on their tombstones.

Creeping your car up on someone is threatening.  If it’s too crowded with people then don’t drive your car there.[/quote]

That is the way the street work, cars are allowed to enter the intersection ... you need to move quickly so you don't obstruct the flow of traffic.

Sorry you are wrong on this one.[/quote]

Pedestrians have zero obligation to 1) walk faster while in the crosswalk or 2) worry about obstructing traffic. If a pedestrian is in a crosswalk you stop and wait. You don’t creep your car forward, you don’t honk, you don’t zoom around. There is traffic because of drivers not because of pedestrians. You don’t like it, get out of your car and walk or take the bus. [b] Pedestrians have to stop at every single intersection because of cars[/b], if you are in a car then YOU are the one impeding pedestrian traffic so please get out of the way. [/quote]

Where is the regulation establishing this? I see pedestrians keep walking at the same speed -- no stop for them!-- or even speed up when entering a pedestrian crosswalk all the time. Not everyone, but it's frequent.[/quote]
