Then the question on that test is wrong. It says the correct answer is to wait for ALL the cars. No, the correct answer is to wait for the "dangerously close ones" (translated: if you turn in front of them, you may cause an accident)... then you turn.

Around here, if a pedestrian walked out into moving traffic thinking that the traffic would stop for them, they would either get hit or cause a multi-car pile up. Cross anywhere but a marked crosswalk or light (and even then) you had better be looking.

Sometimes all directions are red while a cop directs traffic in the intersection. Are you going to stop while the cop is waving yout through the intersection? No, you just drive through and keep the flow going.
