Not only are they a method of getting from one side of the road to the other without being plowed into by various traffic, they’re my source of entertainment too.

1) Regardless of the colour of the light, if you begin to step out into the middle of the road, the people on either side of you will too thinking that it is safe to cross, causing some sort of chain reaction and a large group of people all hurridly running back to avoid being run down.

2) If you are the first person on either side to approach the crossing, do not press the button on the lights. Shortly other people will join you and wait for the lights to change presuming that you have already pressed the button. Jokes on them, they’re not going to be crossing for a very long time.

3) This is one for the drivers. If there is a large group of people at the lights and it is still green, slowly pull up to the crossing as if you were going to stop if it was a red light, then as they presume it is safe to cross, rev your engine and slowly drive towards them as they scatter in each and every direction.

More soon.
