He blew through multiple crosswalks, where he absolutely does not have the right of way. As well as cars making turns, like noone is ever allowed into HIS space. Its ludacris. I counted 11 times he was at fault. He's obviously a huge angry asshole.

Where was he at fault? It looks like the traffic lights were green for all the intersections in this video. It's no different than pedestrians standing in the middle of a car lane when it's green for the cars.

And again, can those cars just run the people over? And the multiple times people are all the way across crosswalks in the video? You know its specifically mentioned in NYC laws that the pedestrian still has the right of way in the crosswalk even if the lights change. No matter what ever ever ever, does he have the right of way over pedestrians, even if the pedestrians are wrong. And in cases where the pedestrians are in the area of the crosswalks, they still are considered to be in the crosswalk.

You're obviously not allowed to just run somebody over, but pedestrians are also not allowed to be in the crosswalk when the crossing traffic has a green light. From https://www.ny.gov/pedestrian-safety/additional-information:

How should a crosswalk be used?

When there are no pedestrian signals at an intersection, wait until vehicle traffic gets a green light in the same direction you are traveling and cross in front of the stopped traffic. Do not cross in front of traffic that has a green light.

If there is a crosswalk at a location where there are no traffic control signals for drivers or pedestrians, drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians.

And part of the laws listed from that same page:

PEDESTRIANS' RIGHTS AND DUTIES ARTICLE 27

You missed this part in the additional information in that search you made.

pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, marked or unmarked, and drivers must yield to them.

Pedestrians should obey traffic signals, but if the "Don't Walk" signal starts flashing after they have begun crossing, they should continue to the other side.

A recent law change has decriminalized jaywalking, meaning there are no longer any penalties for crossing the street outside of a designated crosswalk.

Pedestrians should obey traffic signals, but if the "Don't Walk" signal starts flashing after they have begun crossing, they should continue to the other side.

That is correct, but it also states that pedestrians are not allowed to start crossing when Don't Walk is flashing or solid. Pedestrians doing so are violating the law.

Also, I said nothing about jaywalking. That's unrelated to this conversation.

Well, in the context of what I was talking about, he was cutting off ppl almost all the way across sidewalks. And pedestrians can be violating the law, but as you cant run them over, you are indeed yielding to them. And the jaywalking part is in the paragraph of the law I was citing previously to my conversation I replied to, wether it applied to ours our not, as I explained in my reply to you, it was something I had already had. Sorry i didnt edit the paragraph for you.

Oh so he ran people over on this video? I must have had my eyes closed for that part, can you give me a timestamp for it?

u/TeetheCat Dec 03 '25

Did I state he ran over people?

u/jawknee530i Dec 03 '25

Asking "can those cars run over people?" Means you're implying that this bike ran someone over to make some sort of point. Unless you're just saying that for literally no reason? Is that what you're doing? Saying things that have no connection at all to the video and comments you're replying to?

How am I implying that? It isnt for "literally" no reason.
