Looking both ways before crossing the street is a good idea.

Even if the street is one-way.

...Because construction crews may have changed one of the lanes of the one-way to go the other way, without signing for the pedestrians at all.

Yeah, I noticed that yesterday, too. Some signage would have helped a lot.

Since I'm bringing Boy on campus this week and next for summer camp, I'm making even more of a point than usual of using and waiting for the pedestrian crossing light. That would be the light which I've witnessed three cars and one bus run in the past two weeks, which most of the pedestrians and cyclists ignore if traffic is light.

With my morning head on, I needed traffic flowing to see where it was being directed anyway.

*Yikes*

I've seen cars fail to stop at the stop marker, but I've (thankfully) not seen any blow by the light entirely.

Which, um, could have something to do with how frequently I cross with the signal, since the traffic is often light there, as you said.

...and you are welcome to use me as an object lesson for Boy, "see what happens if you don't wait for the light?" It's been done before :)
