One thing I've learned about the french...
In Paris, pedestrians do not wait for their traffic signals. Even on a busy street at midday...if the way is clear, they go. If, out of habit, you happen to wait for your light, inevitably a local will brush past you and glance back with amusement. Even the police will give you a confused look, as if to say "Why are you waiting? There are no cars coming!"

When in Rome, Torigirl... :-)
Look both ways, cross that street and save a few seconds!
Actually, another thing I've learned is that almost all streets are one way! I guess I only have to look one way, although I always look both (out of habit ;))
