today I got yelled at by a pedestrian who told me it was a red light. It was a blocked intersection where the traffic is only one way - the direction I was going. There's no traffic going in any other direction, and for all intents and purposes, if there was no light there, it would be no different than a straight road.

For me to stop, it would be kind of pointless. There's no crossing traffic and 90% of the time no pedestrian traffic. I wasn't in any way going to hit him or inconvenience him in any way, but he felt I should stop anyways because as he pointed out, it was a red light.

another curious thing I noticed is if I'm going straight at an intersection where cars are turning left (with you facing them), they tend to completely ignore you even if I have the right of way. Anyone else experience/notice this? it's quite dangerous.
