   I remember that part. That's the way it actually was     
   communicated. But when motor-assisted ebikes came onto the scene     
   and more and more people were using motorrized wheel chairs, the     
   "get off the transport device and WALK across an intersection"     
   was not enforced so much - and ultimately removed - I think.  I     
   don't see anyone get off their bikes or miraculously rise from     
   their wheel chairs to cross an intersection.

   I don't understand.. WHY did he stop you?  What did you do wrong     
   in his eyes?  Is it because you rode across an intersection     
   instead of walk?  If the latter.. did he not charge you?
