Thanks Tuscany se22 and Rockets. Your helpful comments were just what was needed. You're absolutely right - if it's red for the pedestrian they need to wait to cross as it could be green for the cyclist - they can't rely on looking at the main red light. Thanks all for your support.

Thanks for your kind comments intexasatthemoment.

Thanks Chick! Yes, am probably too sensitive.

Just went for some cycle exercise on Saturday afternoon, 16 January. At about 3.30 I waited at the lights coming from Townley Road to cross East Dulwich Grove to Greendale. The cycle traffic lights went green (they do so before the main traffic lights, to give cyclists a head start), a cyclist ahead of me went through and then when I came to cycle through, a pedestrian and his child, coming from the west of the crossing, tried to cross in front of me and shouted at me that the lights were f***ing red and that I was an idiot. I go out of the house very rarely at the moment and while I realise that people aren't feeling great and can be more irritable right now, I feel even more rubbish being shouted at when I'm in the right. So if you're out there, person who shouted at me, please check out the situation next time before yelling at someone. And if you're reading this and this man and child are related to you, please point it out to them. Thanks.
