wow...that's some final destination shit
i had that on a major road in the U.S. i lived opposite a bottle shop/corner shop/corner store and as such would have to cross this to get what i wanted. obviously you get to know the cadence of the lights and as such you can second guess the change and cross "perfectly". it was 4 lanes with the parking lane on each side so a decent distance. on the way back across one night, i did my usual and set off walking in as there was no traffic and i knew the lights were about to change, i got a funny feeling and paused and took a few steps back just before walking onto the driving lane and as the light turned green to walk, a black lambo went through the lights at a good 80 miles an hour maybe more, took a full block for them to slow down for the next set of lights on Vine St. i'd have been obliterated...spooky.
