Tourists wait for a green light/walk sign before stepping off the sidewalk.

They do in New York? There is a small Indian section in a town I drive through. A few stores, restaurants, motels. More than once I have seen entire Indian families, kids, parents, grandparents, stepping off the sidewalk, disregarding the traffic, treating the traffic lights as if they didn't exist, and they're not even tourists (At least i don't think they are.) Must be some cultural habit. Weird.

Something about the density/intensity here makes non-locals very cautious in highly-noticable, almost comic, ways.
