"Please, please, pretty-please Mr Powerful Car-Driver, may I cross your precious street?"
"NO, NOT UNTIL YOU HAVE WAVED THE FLAG"
"Oh, ok. Sorry for the causing you the undoubted inconvenience of having to perform a simple courtesy of letting a pedestrian cross the road. I should have realised your journey is so much more important than my (or any human's) safety"
"VERY WELL. YOU MAY CROSS. AND SPEND YOUR CONSUMERIST COUPON WITH PRIDE"
The cars were screaching to a stop because the driver was failing to read the road properly. We have crossings like that in the UK and most drivers have no problem with anticipating pedestrians wishing to cross.
I find it a little sickening that such a scheme exists.
A flag in your hand will make crossing streets safer? The safety campaings are getting more and more stupid.
Road safety is important, but the more morons who try to fill it with their stupidity the less effective it becomes.

My dad made ALL of those buckets just to have a five seconds cameo at the end of this video...
