don't walk out into traffic next time

If it turns yellow, and it's too late to stop without pretty much slamming the brakes then you stop. But if you have way too much momentum to stop in time, then you keep going, simple. Also why the fuck would this bother a pedestrian? Your "Walk" light doesn't turn on until like after 3 seconds of the light turning red for traffic.

The amber light exists to clear the intersection. If you cannot safely stop before the intersection, you're SUPPOSED to drive through. Usually, if you're less than 2 car-lengths away, doing the in-city speed-limit, it's better and safer to just keep going because if you slam your brakes and they lock up, you'll wind up getting T-Boned.

Hey /n/, when the light is yellow on our side, it's still red on your side. That means keep your stupid ass out of the road

Get off the road! Stay out of the way of things bigger than you. You don't see driving my car down train tracks do you?

Take the bus next time

i've always wondered about this. When is the point that it becomes running a red light? 3 seconds is more than enough to clear even if you pass the crosswalk a second after it turns red. That's what happens half the time anyways so I guess my question is when can a cop ticket you for doing it?

It's not like there's always a truck behind me, but in general I don't want to have to rely on trusting the driver behind me.

Depending on the posted speed limit. If the speed limit is 45mph you have 4.5 seconds to stop. You have to quickly calculate if stopping or going is safer within that time frame and act. So long as you passed the first line whilst it was still yellow you are fine.

Sucks being a pedestrian sometimes.
What I hate a lot is if I'm at the side of the road clearly waiting for a gap to cross the road and some dickhead stops their car right in front of me making me walk around their car. I never do this to anybody when I'm driving.

Or if I'm walking along the road and come up to a busy driveway, like for a petrol station. Assholes will just splay their car right in front making me walk behind their car just so they can merge into traffic quicker. Sometimes the car will be able to merge faster, sometimes a pedestrian will be able to walk past faster. It all depends on traffic at the time. But again, when I'm driving I let the pedestrian go first unless I'm sure I'll be out of their way before they reach me. Just a bit of common courtesy
