Berlin Crosswalk Standoff

Wait, or go?

Four real corners from my walking route. Same red light every time. Your call.

The light is red. There is not a car in sight. A Berliner is standing next to you, waiting anyway. What do you do?

  • 4 real corners from my route: Alexanderplatz, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, Museum Island, Hackescher Markt.
  • Wait it out, or cross now. Each choice has a real consequence.
  • Get a Patience Score at the end, and the real rule behind the habit.

Typical wait for this kind of corner. Actual signal timing varies by junction.

These same corners are stops on my free, tip-based walking tour, about 2 hours through central Berlin.
