Default How daring are you when it comes to avoiding traffic (on foot)?
Do you wait for the pedestrian green lights to come on or do you just cross the road as soon as it looks clear enough?

I’m old school and so I have the ability to simply take a quick look and instantly see the next ‘safe’ gap to cross over .

Our generation just had the occasional zebra crossing to slow down traffic

I don't press the button and hold uptraffic I cross when available. We have lost enough working hours to fearmongering

One of my bugbears is the flamin lolipop people who stop the traffic every 30 seconds to let anyone cross rather than using common sense and waiting to take a few people across letting the traffic flow better at the busiest time of the day
