As a frequent pedestrian who also pays road taxes, I am also trying to get somewhere, and I don't appreciate all the times I've had to dodge cars while using a crosswalk. The stakes for me are much higher.



Apart from the dodging, it's having to stand there waiting, while they womble past in their horseless carriage ... getting in my way.


And you are getting in their way.

There is a person in that car, so as far as who is more important it's equal both ways.

Sometimes the person walking waits, sometimes the person in the car waits.


I don't think that it's just my biased perception that automobile traffic is favored in the timing of lights.

Given the massive external costs racked up by feckless motorists on the rest of society it rankles.
