What you're seeing in this video, is actually what is really killing these motorist's mileage in urban settings:
Stretched out strings of individual pedestrians and cyclists alike, that cause a lot of cars to stop and start repeatedly.

To let 1 individual pedestrian cross the road, a string of cars needs to stop - whereas often enough, a pedestrian could cross in the gap between 2 cars.


I most often cross the street during a short lull in traffic - not at a pedestrian crossing where and when I'd force cars to stop.
