Right of Way
If you see (& hear) an ambulance with its siren blaring about a block away, do not cross the street in front of the ambulance even if the sign says "Walk," even if you jog. Let the ambulance pass & then you can go. I know this is unfair, but that's just life.
Conversely, if a vehicle tries to run a red light or turn in front of a group of pedestrians crossing on a "Walk" sign, if it is safe for you to do so, walk in front of the vehicle & give the driver a nasty look. This is especially satisfying if the driver uses his or her horn to try to deter the pedestrians.
