I'll give you another example, on 5th street and 50th ave, which is a bike route from Chinook Centre to Stanley Park, there is a crosswalk button that immediately triggers the traffic light. The second you hit it, the light goes orange. The button for this light is also set up right next to the curb so you do not have to dismount to push the button or cross the street. I never push the button. I just check both ways and go once it is safe. Why? Because why should traffic be held up in both directions, so one guy can cross the street. Does that make me a dangerous cyclist?

When you use a crosswalk as a cyclist, do you dismount and walk your bike across? If not, do you expect other vehicles to yield to you as they would a pedestrian?
