  • I didn't say it was illegal?

    Where did I say it was illegal?

    I said it was unsafe.

    The "red man" at a pedestrian crossing means it's not safe to cross. Why are you having a problem grasping that principle?

  • The "red man" at a pedestrian crossing means it's not safe to cross.

    Nah. It means that motor traffic along the road that the crossing crosses has priority*.

    *having priority doesn't mean "the right to smash into peds who happen to be in the road", mind

  • Enter your text here...

    Yeah totally, but as it says on the diagram, "do not cross". I know it's not there for legality but it is there to make crossing as safe as possible.
