My city is poorly engineered and has traffic control signals where there is almost no traffic (should be a four-way stop). At many of these intersections, the civil engineers seemed to realize they were being ridiculous and still put in traffic control signals; however, they did not put in any sort of signalling for pedestrians!

So, by law, I can ride across a crosswalk if it's legal for a pedestrian to walk it and I am continuing along sidewalk riding and it is legal to ride on the sidewalk in that area. With a crosswalk light, if I can't cross on bike, then pedestrians also can't cross, so I can't swap to the sidewalk and walk across the crosswalk with my bike to bypass a red light.

However, in this case there is no pedestrian control light!

That means pedestrians can make their way across the zebra crossing as long as it is safe and prudent. That means... theoretically, it's legal for me to hop off my bike, walk it across the zebra crossing, and get back on to ride off.

Anyone do this? Questions? Objections? Half-baked legal theories? Recommendations to call my local representative (who is chair of community development) and ask why in the hell we have traffic control signals at intersections that see 6 cars an hour?
