Dear Local Pedestrians,
Maybe you don't realize just how the pedestrian lights work here. See you push the button to let it know you're waiting, and then at a set point in the cycle, all the traffic lights turn red and all four crosswalk lights go to "Walk." That means you can cross in any direction without having to worry about some driver running you over (theoretically).
Now, did you not notice the part where all traffic is stopped until the pedestrian signal ends?
So, for the love of all that is holy, if you're going to hit the crosswalk button, then please wait for the flipping crosswalk signal! If you're going to jaywalk then just go, don't hit the button! I'm tired of having to wait through a set of 4-way reds while the crosswalk signal is on for nobody, because you hit the button and then just decided to jaywalk anyway!
No love,
Me.
