I need a cane to walk for now, and I've found that most cities that claim to be pedestrian friendly aren't so friendly when it comes to things like this.

Drivers get so mad about having to wait an extra 5-10 seconds for a pedestrian. Seconds. I'm like just calm down dude.
(from the US, but it's probably universal)
Worse, IMO, is that sometimes drivers get especially upset when they have to wait for pedestrians while it is raining.
Yes, it is worse to drive in the rain, but the pedestrians are literally in the rain. Try to manufacture the tiniest bit of sympathy, you psychopaths.
Had a sore foot over the weekend and had to hobble about. Can confirm I didn’t beat the green man on more than one occasion.
