First few minutes, no fails. Good job. The first fail started when someone went into the turn lane and stayed there...for a very...long...time....as if she couldnt see that the stop light next to it was blinking!!!
So she finally goes. I notice that there is a guy at the cross walk waiting to cross...as if he couldnt see the giant blinking red lights. He continued to push the button to cross the street.

Then a lady came and tried to do the same thing but finally crossed. He jogged across along with her.
AND THEN
a car jumped in front of another car (this actually happened about five times from the fifteen minutes I was at the stop) as if the other car was supposed to wait when they had the right away.
OK so heres my guide to surviving outed street lamps and blinking red lights.
First off you do the same thing at stop signs, blinking red lights, and outed lamps. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. If you dont know what to do at a stop light then you should reread your drivers ed handbook.
Second, communicate. Is this dude about to go? If so, dont push on the gas pedal or walk into the street.
If you are on your feet and there is a blinking red light, the sign will not tell you to walk. Do what you do at a stop sign. If you dont have the common sense then whatever, get hit. Darwin at his
best.
If you are in the crosswalk and a car starts coming, STOP. If the driver proceeds to yell at you, smile and flip them off.
and most of all...
DO NOT VS BUSES!!!
they tend to win when things get physical.
