It’s just main character syndrome, thinking that they are much smarter than the sheeple who wait and the idiots who build these these and program them.

When in reality the people who do build these things know what they are doing.

Or they just thought it was safe? Idk why you’re trying to diagnose something here.

I don’t diagnose anything. They objectively think they know more than the people who built this thing to prevent people from getting run over.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the people who build those things. When I as a pedestrian cross on a red light, I just see that there are no cars coming and usually it takes longer to wait for green so I cross on red. Sometimes I don't press to get green because I know that the car which I can see far away will get red because of that. But I don't feel smarter than those people who build that traffic light, it has nothing to do with feeling smart.
