I gotten so frustrated that while I am doing some of my part in saving the world & lessening traffic jams (sure there is more, but here I do not need to list them all) that when I come to an intersection with traffic lights & crosswalk lights, telling you when it is safe for you to cross, that I have to wait forever to right away to use the crosswalk! The lights are setup to give the BLANKING automobiles the a long time to cross or turn, before I am allowed to use the crosswalk or just the intersection, without a crosswalk! Given what my riding does for the Earth & All Living Beings & decreasing traffic, all automobiles should instantly have to come to a stop/LIGHTS TURN RED & wait for me!

Of course if we all had Scandinavian style whole roadway or at least completely protected & separated cycle lanes, than this would a much less of a problem.

I use myself as an specific example for all cyclist. Imagine all cyclist have the same problem.

After posting exchanges, I thought of another parts to add to my idea (when former roadways have been turned into restricted to only all <including bicyclists & excluding all motorized vehicles> pedestrians roadways)-

Yes, the rules/laws are created so that if there are no traffic at all & red light (in the pedestrian’s or pedestrians’ direction), then it is legal for them to cross the roadway(s) against the red light. Not just at the intersection(s) either, Illegal Jaywalking should only be when there are traffic/like Frogger video game.
&
If any pedestrian(s) come-up to an intersection(s) at more than one-direction, not only do the automobile’s or automobiles’ have wait as the traffic lights go from green-yellow-red (or the at stops sign or signs or nothing at all the pedestrian go first), but if there are more than 1-pedestrian, then all the pedestrians go first, in all directions & at the same time. Example- pedestrians (including bicyclists) are in the South, North, East & West directions & arrive before/same time/shortly after the automobile(s), then all the pedestrians go at the same time, as the traffic lights, for automobile(s), go from Green-Yellow-Red. I cannot see how if the other part of the idea is okay that these parts would be a problem.

    We have red light cameras & enforcement cameras, but people still do it, just less amounts. Cameras are just for raising money for locations’ governments that get either wasted or diverted up to Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners. One accident with a automobile is possibly deadly.

    Then the fines probably should be higher and each offence should come with a short but progressively longer suspension of their driving licence.

    I have also never seen it, myth? Where is supposedly happening NY C or somewhere in the state of La?

    I’ve seen a few slaps, mainly in Norwich, England, where of course gun ownership is tightly regulated by law and road rage killers are national news and remembered for a long time (Kenny Noye, for example). I’ve not yet seen anyone walk or slide over a hood.

      Actually, what we need is get rid of the cameras & hire real police to do the jobs. Also what I said in previous replies, it is just to trap people who cannot get out traffic & have to work (with cities becoming even more overpopulated every day, so they have to result into traffic violations, in enrich the politicians to divert more public moneys up to The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners.
