The Green Cross Code

In other countries if you attempt to cross the road on the red light, you are killed dead and fined on top of that.

I'm in Vienna this week, and I'm told there's a big fine for walking when there's a red man. No one does.

I even felt like a bit of a dick earlier when I waited for the cars to stop at the red light and started absent-mindedly walking out across the road in anticipation of the green man. No one else did, they just waited patiently for an extra few seconds and secretly tutted at me in their heads while they stared with their icy glares.
