I’m getting confused replies.
In the UK red means stop, green means go, no exceptions.
UK Pedestrian crossings are only green when it is safe to cross because no traffic is even attempting to drive in your direction.
In most of America that I’ve visited, all 4-way intersections have the pedestrian phase at the same time and same direction as the vehicular traffic. This means when you cross, turning traffic can be attempting to drive down the road you’re crossing.
