There are a lot of lights I can think of where you can guarantee you'll get a vehicle "gambling" and coming through on the red meaning that if you set off crossing on the green man you'd get hit about half the time. Seven sisters road outside Finsbury Park station springs to mind. It's one of those rules that people seem to think it's fine to break (and these junctions somehow miss "Operation Safeway").
Saying that, I was following a van last night who sped up to squeeze through some lights and then screeched to a halt. I got to the junction and saw that a police car was at the other side of the junction.
