I remember I was thinking a lot about how and when i crossed streets around this time. The question i had was the optimal way to get from a point A to a point B if traversing a cityscape on foot. Generally, when i enter a city block situation where i have several blocks to traverse in both directions (N/S & E/W), my preferred method of travel is the path of least resistance. That is to say, i take advantage of the lights as long as i can. If you have at least 1 block to go in each direction then walk in the direction of where you have a green light. If you have no green light, walk the length of the block toward your destination and then follow the green at the next intersection.
In my experience, directions tell you generally to go all East and then turn North and handle the rest... That's not my way.
(This seemed important to me at the time... for some reason).
