LESSON ONE: Pedestrians are essentially viewed as nuisances in Silicon Valley. At most intersections in the San Jose area, one must press a button to cross the street and then wait. If not, one never gets a green light. In the most extreme cases, crosswalks are not even provided on all corners. Please do disturb the traffic.
