“What a village!”: some residents of Shimanovsk did not understand how to use the call traffic light

The Shimanovsky public @otzovik_shim published a post expressing bewilderment about the opinion of one of the townspeople. “Yesterday we had an interesting dialogue with one of our subscribers, which made us think: does everyone know how to use a traffic light? The dialogue was as follows:

— Is our traffic police generally going crazy? Are people fined at pedestrian crossings?

— Hello, at which pedestrian crossing?

— Around school 176.

- Where is the new traffic light?

- Yes.

— So maybe people get fined for turning red?

- What if there are no cars?

— In any case, you need to press the button, wait for the green light and go, even if there are no cars.

“And if a person is urgent…” the public shared with subscribers.

According to @otzovik_shim, a callable traffic light at the intersection of Ordzhonikidze and Komsomolskaya streets was installed in September last year. To prevent cars from standing idle in front of an empty pedestrian crossing, as happens when traffic is regulated by traffic lights at a given interval, a call traffic light was installed. It is constantly on green for traffic, so cars do not stop in this area and pass freely. For pedestrians, the traffic light is red, which, as everyone knows, is prohibited from crossing the road. To cross the street safely, you must press the call button, after which the traffic light will turn green for pedestrians and red for cars.

In the comments, the opinions of Shimanovsk residents regarding the situation were divided (spelling and punctuation were preserved):

“Here is a village... In civilization they would have already smeared it all over the hood... They would have learned right away.”
"Urgently? You might think that after pressing the button, the green light turns on for a few minutes. And is it worth risking your life for a few seconds?” “It’s time to introduce rights for pedestrians.
Otherwise, sometimes you are amazed at the behavior of those who urgently need to step under the wheels.” “Well, if it’s URGENT, then raise your hand up and boldly cross the road, all the cars will definitely stop and let you through!
Don’t waste time pressing a button and waiting for the traffic light to turn green!” “Well, we got fined once, but it’s a good life lesson, next time a person will think before breaking (I hope our valiant traffic police explained how to use this traffic light).” “I see this picture every morning at the Ordzhonikidze-Plekhanov intersection, stadium. When grown-up uncles and aunts go to red.” “You’d have to be a complete idiot not to know how to use a traffic light. What century do you live in?” “Sheep people or not sheep, leave your insults to your relatives. But many people really don’t know that they have to press a button and wait. The administration should consider this option. After all, it was not so difficult after installing the traffic light to install some kind of poster before the crossing, explaining the rules for using this traffic light. There are people who have lived in Shimanovsk all their lives and do not have smartphones or gadgets, who really have no idea what and how to do correctly in this case.” "Agree. The first time I encountered such a traffic light was in Blaga near the regional one. The light is always red, the cars are driving, I’m standing. I can't figure out why the colors don't change. People pass by, at least one would help. Well, the man needed to go to the other side, he pressed and we went, we would have stood there for another 10 minutes.”

• In September 2022, residents of Zeya were surprised by two pedestrian crossings located a couple of meters from each other. The old markings were supposed to be demarcated, but six months later the new crossing began to look like the old one and continued to confuse pedestrians.
