Some picket lines were giving away (idk with purchase or not) a union-swag Red cup. The vibe is perfect.

Oh 100% and by no means to say cars need to take priority over pedestrian safety and definitely concur with my experiences of folks disregarding very red lights and still going.

My biggest frustration with Baltimore traffic lights is that they all seem to be out of sync. It feels like more often than not if I am going somewhere I will hit every light.
