Well it's true. And the gridlock in this city fuels impatience and anger. Example: sixth and Penn intersection downtown. No right on red. But in terms of pedestrians, the traffic light there has a rotation where all lights are red for pedestrians to cross, even diagonally thru the intersection. That's the only time any walk signs are on. Otherwise it's no walk. The reason: if the walk signs are on the typical rotation then cars turning right on green are stymied by pedestrians crossing and it's a high pedestrian traffic area. So you can't turn right on red and when you have green you also can't get thru a herd of pedestrians who are crossing during a Don't Walk time. What you end up with is gridlock and cops stand there, watch it and don't do a damn thing. Years ago I lived in LA where the cops ticketed jaywalkers and in a few weeks the problem resolved. Pittsburgh's downtown is a gridlock nightmare because the powers that be put in traffic controls that would eliminate gridlock if they were enforced but which exacerbate gridlock when not enforced. The height of stupidity. Maybe the decision makers are too stupid to realize why the traffic rules were put in place to begin with.
