Completely agree. U.S. police lights are actively disorienting. loud sirens and the lights make me feel a high degree of anxiety each time I see/hear them.
> Most cars will immediately stop if they see you’re about to cross the street. It takes some getting used to at first. Pedestrians are given first priority, a concept alien in India.
Disagree. Indian cities are a lot more pedestrian friendly. Parts of US Northeast are the exception, not the norm. In India, you just kinda walk and the trafffic stops/ manouvers around you.

I've lived almost all my life in India, several towns and cities at that and there is not a single place that is pedestrian friendly. I think you're mistaking walking into traffic and causing a mini panic for the oncoming vehicles vs actual pedestrian friendly roads.
I disagree with you. In India nobody respects walking people. They will honk multiple times, get angry if anyone walking blocks their road. Basically people in car feels they own the road in India and walking people are lower class obstacles. It made me hate walking in cities. Yes, there are footpaths where people walk all the time, but Indian people also ride motorcycles there in traffic jams. Multiple times they came close to hit me. It's total chaos in India.
