Message from a motorist to pedestrians: When the red hand is flashing, you’re not supposed to start crossing!

Just like cars are advised not to drive through amber, pedestrians are advised to not start crossing when the red hand is flashing. The instructions quiet literally on almost every intersection. As a driver who needs to turn left, it pisses me off and delays everyone because your selfish ass can’t wait another minute. Follow the rules please and stop J-walking or walking against the signal, you’re putting yourself and others at risk as well as impeding traffic. Pedestrians in this city seriously need to be educated properly on road safety and the police need to enforce the laws.
