What is with Pedestrians at traffic lights

Kathy from Spotswood

Twice in a week I have seen a near miss at traffic lights where pedestrians run across the road against the traffic lights. First one I nearly hit the guy. there was a truck in the RH lane blocking my view and on the green light I went. all of a sudden this guy runs in from of my car. He had 4 lanes to cross and I was in the last lane relying on the traffic lights to give me the go ahead. Then tonight I saw 3 joggers run across in front of a car that had no way of seeing them due to other traffic blocking his view. Once again he had a green light and was in the fourth lane of 4. My heart went in my mouth as I was it all unfold and there was nothing I could do. Thankfully the driver had awesome brakes. Come on people, Your safety is your responsibility
