I say, I think we have a hit song here.

If you are going to jump a light, do so without getting in the peds' way... it's really simple. I routinely violate traffic laws here but do so in such a way, I almost never honked or yelled at. Even when passing the open doors of the streetcar, I do so slowly as to not endanger the ROW peds, in many years I haven't been dinged at once by the streetcar driver, this incl. doing it at rush hour. I've tipped the cap at peds as I ride safely through crosswalks giving them several feet of space and I slow down somewhat. It is really that simple to be able to get where you have to go quickly on a bike without pissing everyone off.
