Listen up Halifax drivers! When approaching a left-turn advance green, yellow does not mean speed up, especially if you’re not yet in the intersection. What on earth is so hard to understand about the traffic light colour scheme!? Yellow does not mean speed and red certainly doesn’t mean foot to the floor. You’re hurtling through, protected by a ton of metal and glass and the poor souls on the corner with the walking man are just trying to get across on their own two feet. This applies especially at the corner of Sackville and Bell Road, but also North Park and Cogswell and pretty much everywhere else in the city. Pedestrians aren’t given long to cross the street in the first place and when you cut into our crossing action like the road hogs you are you put lives in danger. -Two Feet, No Motor

WTF is a walking wo/man? Is that compared to a driving wo/man? Cycling wo/men?
As one of the HFX Walkers, just assume the drivers are nuts and pace yourself. I’ve seen some walkers not even come to a stop at a crosswalk let alone waiting for the right away, and cars blasting through like they’re in the Indy 500. Morons on both sides.
Respect the walking Scots/man
But not the Slenderman. That guy is seriously fucked up.
Must be an anarchist.
I must be one of the few that don’t have problems, sure I see an excited driver once in a while, and i’m crossing north st and barrington st too. I just don’t have any trouble if I don’t assume everyone sees me I guess…. that or i’m so handsome people stop in awe!
Hope you’re listening to this as you almost get creamed.

Well, if the traffic light is yellow, the pedestrian light should still be red until the traffic lights have changed to red so there is no reason for a pedestrian to be in the crosswalk.
I agree with OB. One should not accelerate when a light changes from green to yellow. If it is unsafe to stop, then you shouldn’t have to accelerate to “beat” the light. We all learn this is driver’s ed. Not sure why people are trolling OB about this.
It’s an AMBER light, not a “yellow”.
Excellent contribution.

If I was to cut my hair, not only would they notice, they’d keel over in shock.
Shock? There would be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. lamentations on an Old Testament scale. Young women hurling themselves into volcanoes, everywhere.
For the love of humanity, man.
Don’t. Do. It.
Now I may have to borrow some lip gloss from HarperD.
Ahhh traffic not so bad here….just a little impatience.
