    I was in the US a bit over a month ago. Started to cross when the walk signal became green. A driver went into the crosswalk we were stepping into, only looking left and never coming to a stop until she saw the guy crossing from the other side. She never saw us once and nearly ran us over. We don’t have the equivalent here (left on red) in Japan and we do fine. Get rid of it.

      It often results in dangerous situations. It also keeps bicycling from becoming commonplace. Way too dangerous to bike in most areas.
