In Europe where vehicles have right of way over pedestrians, and green lights mean you may proceed without yielding to anything, most of these situations get much simpler. Having to yield to pedestrians when you have a green light is adding another decision process for the driver, and introducing a greater chance of error. |
This is exactly what I meant. The beauty of this desgin is it takes no education for both drivers and cyclists. It is clear who yields to who and where everyone should be.
