'Bill' we're arguing at cross purposes. I'm not trying to defend the girl but point out that the story as written here leads the reader to assume this was a 50/50 intersection. The exact location is easy enough to identify on Google Maps. <>https://goo.gl/maps/Qt2Pkx5kwdL2

Intersections should have staggered lights so when pedestrians are crossing ALL road traffic is stationary – and vice-versa. There’s a new-style set of lights like that outside my elementary school. In theory it’s safer but 6 or 7 times, when I’ve been waiting there on a red light and the pedestrian light has changed to green, I’ve seen cars not just ‘jump’ the lights but drive right through a full red! The drivers only pay attention to the pedestrian lights and not the traffic signals. Crazy!

No upside for the yen. Pretty much. Id love for someone to show me how this is wrong.
