I think all people that walk on the pavements should have large identifying plates on their back and should be banned from leaving the house if they hold up too much traffic while crossing roads etc. :-)

I stand at "red" at pedestrian crossing a lot (not always:-). Amazing what you see.

The law on cycling (and other traffic offences) on pavements dates back to 1835.
