| Oct 18, 2010 at 2:43 | comment | added | Brian Campbell | @Ian In the US, there can be a "Walk" signal that is parallel to a green light, in which drivers can turn right or sometimes even left across the crosswalk. Drivers are supposed to yield to pedestrians in such cases, but a bicycle may be moving faster than they are expecting. | |

| Oct 14, 2010 at 22:10 | comment | added | Gary.Ray♦ | @Ian - the question indicates that the vehicle travel lane is green, but the crosswalk indicator is "Don't Walk". This is a common scenario. Also, it is legal in most parts of the US to make a right turn on a red light after stopping and yielding to cross traffic. | |
