Another reminder for pedestrians, you dont always have the right of way.
[h=1]4511.46 Right-of-way of pedestrian within crosswalk.[/h](A) When traffic control signals are not in place, not in operation, or are not clearly assigning the right-of-way, the driver of a vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar shall yield the right of way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield or if required by section
4511.132 of the Revised Code, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.
(B) No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.

There are only 2 stop signs for a reason, people.
flashing lights are the worst and people always do this at an intersection where i work, basically because they are stupid. it has two flashing red lights and two flashing yellow. the other day i was working waiting at the flashing yellow to turn left, the guy coming towards me stops and starts waving me on to go left infront of him. so i just sat there until he eventually realized what it meant.
another lady had a flashing red and pulled out infront of a on coming car that had a flashing yellow. well i had to go give that lady a ticket while she was in the hospital. she never understood why it was her fault. oh well.

Its announced 2 miles ahead, and there are always assholes that instead of trying to get over when they first see the lane closure, they fly up the empty lane until they absolutely can't go any further and then try to force their way over which results in a longer back up for those that got over. I'll usually get over to the open lane and then once a lot of people continue to drive by, I'll move back over and block the empty lane. Fuck them.
haha you live near cleveland? this is a huge issue with them doing contruction downtown.
