Is common in Chennai – I have observed.
The traffic light is a steady red and pretty much everyone ignores it and the vehicles buzz past. A lone crusader decides to follow the rules and wait for the green. He gets honked and booed at.

And the reverse is also true – the light turns green and the folks are on a stand-still.

Colour Blind Or maybe it is the “Indian Traffic Rules”

btw: Did you notice that I am back to spelling words the “Queen’s way”? One of those small reasons why I wanted to move to Singapore – the letter “U” on my keyboard was feeling neglected.
