I haven't noticed this on big streets where the signals are clear. This is a stop sign / crosswalk thing where things can be more ambiguous. I don't look there either, I trust cars not to run the light.

Yeah at those "Stop for pedestrians" crosswalks, maybe 1 in 50 cars will voluntarily stop for you, so the only way to actually make it across is to throw yourself into the intersection and assume you'll win chicken.
