micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I can't make much sense of this situation, if it's red then the walk sign should be in the other direction. Unless this was a scramble, in which case I think you shouldn't go because it's too crowded. Article says advance walk but not sure the exact setup.

The walk signal will be parallel to the flow of traffic. Therefore, yes, a red light for traffic would mean that pedestrians are crossing your path, not going with it.

There are intersections where all lights stay red, giving pedestrians a walk sign in all directions.

There are also intersections where the walk sign turns on before the light goes green.

In both cases, the cyclist still needs to yield to pedestrians, but it seems they'd be legally allowed to ride through the red if it's clear.
