    Yes it sucks to have to wait to someone aware that will just respect legal right, and then it is expected to wave a hand to say thanks to the driver. Thanks for letting me in life, thanks for respecting the law.

    Does drivers wave a “thanks” to others when crossing a green light? No.

      I never wave to drivers. One time, I was crossing a street, and another pedestrian waved to a driver, causing the driver to enter the intersection and almost hit me. I have heard that in some places, pedestrians waving to drivers can be interpreted as directing traffic, and so they could be partially liable for any accidents that happen.
