I don't understand what he wants the pedestrian to do. Not cross at all? Wait until there's no traffic?
I think he just wants pedestrians to just not exist at all or maybe die trying to cross while traffic is flowing.
IRL Frogger
Clearly, the pedestrian should get a car, and OP just happens to work at a used car lot.
Well he's a blockchain guy so maybe he wants everyone to rent or lease used cars via some DeFi car lending app.
And when everybody's driving they'll complain there is too much traffic and the roads are now clogged.
Frogger.
I see people press the button and wait when there's clearly no traffic.
Press button, stay in the lines, if worried about success of your personal injury suit :)
You don't get hit if you don't expect cars to stop. It's safer to go on the red.
Yes, because you have a red light, you stop, press button and wait for green. At least that's what I've been teaching to my kid, maybe I'm wrong?
Well, if there's a pedestrian traffic light, that's the legal thing to do
Also the speed limit there might be 45 miles per hour. Crossing 6 lanes of traffic without a light may be impossible even if there is no traffic when you start!
Jaywalk.
But if they move in a J formation, they won't successfully cross the street
I'm guessing he wanted the person to wait until it changes for the cars or something
