Can you cross a busy intersection in just 2 seconds?

You come to the cross-walk at a busy intersection like in downtown Denver or New York city waiting for the signal to let you walk across, can you walk across in under just 2 seconds with cars approaching the 4 way intersection and only one traffic light covers this whole intersection.......

Biggles	posted 23-Apr-2009 8:15pm I'm basing this on pictures/footage I have seen of large intersections in the US. My answer is no, I don't think that I could cross in 2 seconds. What happens if I don't?

If you don't you go crunch and splat , I got this idea!! for this survey because we have one traffic light and cars trucks and buses yes school buses and charter buses logging trucks as well coming from 4 different directions and you have 2 seconds to get across or splat Ka-Boom These elderly people are really good crossing the highway they must have experience lots of experience because they move so slow with their oxygen bottles in tow yet somehow they make it all the way across to the other side?

icurok	posted 24-Apr-2009 9:48am Given that busy intersections in New York can be 50ft across, then not even Usain Bolt could (from a standing start) get from one side to the other if he had to factor in oncoming vehicles. What I suspect you mean by "just 2 seconds" is, in fact, "an undetermined but relatively small amount of time". Could I cross a busy road in "an undetermined but relatively small amount of time"? Probably

Amanda	posted 24-Apr-2009 11:45am No. I'm certainly not going to attempt it to prove myself correct, though.
LindaH	posted 24-Apr-2009 1:23pm No. I wish. Imagine all the pranks I could pull if I could move that fast.

LindaH	posted 24-Apr-2009 7:41pm I bet we could all try to cross it; in two seconds, flat.
ElvisFan67	posted 24-Apr-2009 9:34pm I doubt it--unless I had springs under my shoes where I can leap across.

Maybe the reason they managed to get to be elderly is because they are so good at crossing the road?
