It is a simple proposition: if the traffic light is red you stop; if it is green you may proceed. This applies equally to pedestrians and vehicles. Yet why, as i was crossing the Martin Pl George St intersection on foot, on a green light, did Stereotypical Ute driver insist on not only cutting in front of me, but pushing through a score or more of my follow bi-peds? THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, Ute Man. YOU MUST STOP when the light is red. Green means go, red means stop. Need I break it down any further?

And to all of you out there even thinking of running a red light at a pedestrian crossing: do it at your peril! I, ever vigilant astro dude, will be watching, waiting for you to slip up!
