Please, can you look before speeding around corners. In the past month, I've almost gotten run over crossing on a Walk Light A MILLION TIMES.
Just because you drive an obnoxious little Audi that looks like a squished smartie from behind, or your just purchased your first pre-owned BMW SUV, remember right on red is not a right.
If the light says "Walk" it doesn't mean it's target practice.
Using your car's ability to go from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds just to catch a yellow light 40 meters away always is a bad idea. I promise, it'll be red by the time you get to the corner, and I'll probably be crossing the street.
On Hoskin Ave, when the light at the student crosswalk is red. You have to stop, even if there's only one person crossing. Slowly rolling through is wrong and so is knicking pedestrians as they walk around your vehicle.
What else?
Stop signs mean stop, even if you're driving a $70,000 vehicle and it's on that side street that runs past Sassafraz.

Tell me about it. But, the only place I have near death experiences in Toronto is in Yorkville!
I think it's true what they say, "More money than brains"
Once I was driving and I did right on red. There was no one crossing the cross walk, it was rush hour, and I was behind another car doing the same.
Well the car infront of me went into the next lane quickly, I thought it was just a strategic move, so I kept going until I realized, I nearly mowed down a family of 4!
Sweet jesus!!!
Then they cursed at me as if I was at fault!
1st - you don't cross a super busy street at rush hour on a red light
2nd - don't take your kids with you
3rd - don't cross the street on a red light no where near a crosswalk and then flip out at the driver that didn't see you and your spawn!
So there, see I've nearly had a bad experience in T dot driving, but, here's the difference:
I follow the rules of the road!
Sounds like you need a hand-held stop sign, a yellow reflective vest and a spike strip. It's amazing how rude drivers can be.
