My original point was more towards this:
"Pedestrian signal indications apply to pedestrians,not drivers." (Florida Law)
Wrong.
Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine
(9) A person propelling a vehicle by human power upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, has all the rights and duties applicable to a pedestrian under the same circumstances.
If you're riding your bike through an intersection via a crosswalk, you're a
PEDESTRIAN and are supposed to follow the directions of the walk/don't walk signals.
