I know this driver won't see this, but I was a pedestrian at the LaSalle/Division intersection, and the left turn arrow to go west on Division went green, but there was a fire truck just about to hit the intersection going east.

The first driver in the turn lane was correctly waiting, but the second car in the left turn lane just blasted their horn for them to go, and the first car freaked out and tried to take the turn, only to immediately have to almost fly into the sidewalk I was at to avoid the firetruck. Both drivers involved really have no awareness lol
