ok TS let me give you an example dri Singapore since dri man ko ron. good thing i took a photo 2 days ago and I just stumbled upon your thread.

so just to give you an idea here in Singapore, you have to press the button to cross
the symbols indicated sa picture below
1. red man - do not cross
2. green man - cross with care
3. blinking green man - DO NOT START TO CROSS



so to answer your question:
I always thought that it's perfectly fine to cross the street when the don't walk red sign is still BLINKING.

the answer here in Singapore is NO as shown on the picture above - blinking green man means do not start to cross

mau na lang na gani singkwenta pesos ra ang multa mo. dri Singapore ang multa sa jaywalking or not following traffic rules is at a minimum of 500 singapore dollars which is roughly equivalent to 18,000 pesos. nya d ka malifong anah... hehhee

so to be on the safe side na lang do not attempt to cross kung blinking na.

ok rana ts oi paksi.e pud na imong sweldo whaha

[pinkishness]

wow grabeha 500 sing$ oy. whew

anha ra labang kung green na para y dakop. Kung pananglitan sitahon ka ky nasipyat kag labang, dagan lng jud og kusog ky di na sila mo gukod. Wa bitay kaila nmu dha..Kever kung nidagan ka..lol

You've been misinformed TS. Sakto ang uban diri basta nag blink na gani ang "don't walk red sign" it means a warning not to start to cross. Pila ra na ka seconds kung daghan mo manglabang maabtan gyud mo sa sakyanan. That's why naay warning sign for everyones safety. Naay uban enforcer na pitohan gani basta naay mo try ug labang, naa sad uban dili pero dakpon ka. Mao nay nahitabo nimo. Pero pilosopo sad pagkatubag sa enforcer diha nimo.

About ani "Ngano man daw nang mga sakyanan ig-yellow light ngano magpakusog man?". Betting the red lights is a traffic violation pud. Pero depende pud sa situation. Kung layo paka sa signal light unya ni yellow na then nagpakusog ka ug dagan para dili ka maabtan sa red light, kani violation gyud.

Mo agree jud kos imung statement about sa pag educate sa public mam, It is true that ignorance to the law is not an excuse but being a person that is anidiot about the law is a good excuse. Imposible nga sa ka daghan sa ma dakpan nila sa isa ka tuig di na sila ka butang ug mga signs with infos. like what singapore did, posting banners,etc. Pero kita? Dakop dakop bahalag naa juy sayup ang mga CITOM. That's the reason why mga pilipino di mo asenso, kay di jud mag think further ahead or think also for the future not only the present.

I think it is if it was kept a secret law hehe


regarding sa signal lights, here's what i understand:

Pedestrian:
Green - cross
Red - do not cross
Blinking red - do not attempt to cross but if you're already crossing at that moment, keep going.

Vehicles:
Green - cross
Red - do not cross
Orange - do not attempt to cross but if you're already crossing at that moment, keep going.
also if orange na and duol na ayu ka sa junction running at 80kph, padayun nalang kay mas ma disgrasya pa imong mga pasajero kung imo kaliton ug pugos ang brakes.

ang sayup lang sa pikas nga side kay inig orange sa imo, and red pa sa pikas, mag una2x na ug dagan ang pikas. kana sayup kaayu na sa ila.


sa Hong Kong kay lahi ila pedestrian nga systema:
Green - cross
Blinking green - hurry up and cross
Red - stop
