The pedestrians were clearly wrong in this instance.Um, no. A pedestrian with a walk sign has the right of way under all circumstances. They are entitled to daydream or tie their shoelace or something for a few seconds and then proceed. If you can't make the turn without impeding their progress you must STOP or else you have broken the law and risked their safety. |

I don't often do either of those actions but I frequently arrive at a walk light a few seconds after it has turned white. If you haven't already gotten pretty much to the crosswalk by the time I step out into the street I expect you to yield to me. The light says Walk and I'm walking. If you aim your wheels at me without stopping immediately you are driving recklessly. |

How long was I supposed to wait? Terrapin stated I should have started right away without even waiting two seconds. He accused me of waiting five seconds which he also said was wrong.So is he wrong? How long shoukd I have waited for them to start crossing before proceeding? |

He didn't say I should have not waited? He certainly did. He said I shoukd have made my turn as soon as the signal turned green without waiting "five seconds". Then he said two seconds and five seconds is the same thing. |

If I shouldn't wait at the stop line, where should I have waited? Or are you saying I shoukd have immediately started to turn? If so, then I would have been cutting someone off if they would have started crossing. |

So I am wrong by waiting two seconds to see if someone wants to cross.I am also wrong if I start to turn right away and cut someone off who wants to cross. SO THERE IS NOTHING I COULD DO TO BE RIGHT. I WOULD ALWAYS BE WRONG NO MATTER WHAT I DID ACCORDING TO THOSE HERE. |

Wow. You're impossible. You don't wait at the stop bar. You go. If someone starts to cross before you get to the crosswalk, then you stop right before the crosswalk. Otherwise you don't wait or stop at all!!!!!!! This is basic stuff, dude. Learn how to drive or get off the road. |

Of course. But you can't control what others do. And others might correctly assume you will start moving or are moving and could hit you. That's why IT IS NOT SAFE TO WAIT WHEN THE LIGHT IS GREEN UNLESS CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE IT. |

How long should I have waited for them to start crossing before proceeding?You can start proceeding forward at any time. But if a pedestrian proceeds too, then you have to stop and let them go, whether they delayed proceeding for 2 seconds, or 5, or 10. You NEVER have the right of way over them when you are turning. So the normal thing to do is proceed forward right away. Then if you can turn and go through the crosswalk without coming near anyone, do so. But if by the time you are ready to tun into the crosswalk you are going to be aiming for someone or having a near miss, stop until the coast is clear. At worst you will be able to proceed when the light turns green for the crossing direction. |

Many people in this city don't know how to drive. There are plenty of people like him who think that once they've started a turn they have a God-given right to run down anyone who gets into their way.There are also plenty who will be like him and sit still as the light turns green and wait for there to be no pedestrians in the crosswalk before they move forward and then turn. And then there are those who don't understand how to turn sharply: they turn left from a 1-way street onto a 2-way avenue driving through the crosswalk lengthwise as they go. |

Why do you need a few seconds? You presumably:(1) are the first car in line and (2) have been waiting at this light for most the cycle's duration (otherwise you wouldn't be the first car) So you already know the locations of any potential obstacles since you've probably been assessing the situation for several minutes. If there's pedestrians waiting to cross or someone speeding down the crossroad, you wait, otherwise, good2go! The other possibility is a bike trying to sneak by you to your right, but unless there is a bike lane you just gotta get in the habit of hugging the curb (so that they can't come up next to you while you're stopped). |

My take: Waiting two seconds to see if the pedestrians wanted to cross wasn't wrong.Bitching about the pedestrians wanting to cross is wrong. They had the right of way, so they didn't "cut you off." The only thing you're doing wrong here is using this as an example of bad pedestrian behavior, because it's not. |
