I was just thinking that!  :)
On one of my tours of USA we were in Houston to visit the Space Center
and I left the hotel early on a Sunday morning to see if anywhere was
open for breakfast. The roads were empty, so I just strolled across
like we do in London. There was a load shout and this huge Texas cop
called me over to explain emphatically about the Walk, Don't Walk
signals. I thought I was going to be arrested, but I guess my accent
and debonair charm got me off with a caution!  :)
