when you see a pedestrian crossing the street do you let them through...

While he could've just walked leisurely behind the "about-to-move-forward" car and cross the street since there's NO WAY the car behind can move until the one in front does...

Drives me nuts.

Tapos sisingitan ka pa ng nasa tabi mo dahil may space sa harap...

[Sarsi]

yes, give way na lang ako kahit minsan masama sa loob ko it makes me feel good din naman lalo na pag nag smile at thank you yong pinadaan ko, lalo na pag babe

i usually do, pero dun sa may tapat ng baclaran church hindi, meron naman kasing pedestrian overpass dun at sinira na nung mga ogags dun yung steel barrier dun sa may are na yun para lang makapag jaywalk. Pag mga kids at matatanda, sige lang, pinapadaan ko na

[Bogeyman]

it is a responsibility of a driver to give way to pedestrians at any cost.

With all due respect, this is why our traffic laws are so lopsided. Ultimo yung motorsiklo na nag-counterflow at sumalpok sa FX, yung FX driver pa ang may kasalanan at ikinulong. Every burden of responsibility is unduly placed on the motorist behind the wheel.

IIRC, pedestrians have their share of responsibilities too. That's why we consider jaywalking as an offense, 'di ba?

i let them pass .. especially kung matatanda .. naiisip ko lang na sana bumalik yung karma at kung yung mom ko naman ang tumatawid ay pinaparaan siya .. pagalam kong may tawiran or nakita ko na may kumukumpol na na tao bumabagal na ako .. ang nakakabwisit eh yung naka-red na stoplight .. tatawid na yung mga tao .. tapos biglang may parating na kotse na ang bilis ng patakbo tapos mag-fu-full stop .. siempre tigil lahat ng tatawid .. mamaya di kumagat yung preno eh ..

i know this one's hard, kahit ako i struggle..pero when you put it this way, as motorists, we're surrounded by 1-2 tons of steel,ung pedestrians bare human flesh...so no choice,it's really not worth insisting on our right sometimes. although nakakagigil talaga yung mga makukulit

Kapag walang tawiran, sorry na lang. Lalo na kung ilalim ng overpass. Though there are exceptions, they are far and few in between.

Kanina lang nasa EDSA ko heading Monumento. What do I see? Some a**hole in a bike cycling towards me! Nasa middle lane pa ko ng lagay na iyan.

Reminds me of that one time in front of Strata 2000 when I was crossing on the ped lane to get to Mini Stop. A cab sped towards me and didn't want to give way. Being the idiot (who thinks he's immortal) that I am, I didn't give way to the cab either. It stopped inches away from me.

Tapos dinuro ko yung cab driver. I had all the right to cross the street and he had all the responsibility to let me. Then tuloy paglakad.

At nagulat na lang ako, nagsisisigaw at nagmumumura na sya don with matching bukas ng pinto, hindi bintana, kundi pinto, habang umaandar (hindi yata nakapag-aral at wala yatang pera, kawawa naman). Bakit ko daw sya dinuduro at bakit daw ako tumatawid don? Hindi na lang ako nakipag-away at nakakahiyang patulan ang mga maliliit na tao. I just took note of his license plate number and carried on with my business. Then I announced the entire incident on RX 93.1 minutes later. Nakaganti na. :-)

So to answer the question, kung may pedestrian lane, naka-red light (for intersections) at may tao kahit isa lang, I always stop.

I follow this, pero kung go at may tao... ibang usapan na. Kagaya na lang dito sa svc. road sa may SM Bicutan. Nangyayari kasi ALWAYS GO ang mga peds at yung mga sasakyan NO GO kung lahat ng motorista eh kahit go pinatatawid sila. Mismong mga traffic enforcer nga eh di masabi-sabihan yung mga tao dun eh.

sa pedestrian lanes oo. sa mga wala. horn and ilaw igigreet ko sa kanila. . but depende sa situation talaga. . . nakakatuwa minsan pag tinigilan mo tapos wave the pedestrians to pass. . may mga reactions na nabibigla kasi namigay ka. hehehe



what i hate the most is yung tatawid with their hand up tapos hindi nakatingin (hello, look at the cars for crying out loud. masasagasaan ka diyan!)
