Is it really true that you have to give way to pedestrians, even when you have a green light?
If so, that suggests that pedestrians can basically ignore all traffic lights, and cross when they choose, irrespective of traffic flow. If they are hit as a result, then it's the fault of the person who hits them?
I know that if you're turning from a main road into a side road with the dashes on, then its the peds right of way at all times, but is it the same if there are traffic signals. If so, we're wasting a lot of money on pedestrian crossing lights.
I'm not trying to argue, just trying to understand.
