Yes, it is like talking to a wall. I am going to put this in all caps for emphasis: TELLING PEDESTRIANS TO BE CAREFUL DOES NOT INCREASE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

If you want to increase pedestrian safety, start advocating for stuff THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.

Like telling them to look both ways both crossing a street?

If you’re in a car do you look both ways before passing through a green light to make sure no one is running a red light from the other way? At every intersection?

Because essentially that’s what we are asking pedestrians to do- even if crossing with a light, they should apparently be anticipating every car’s move.

Actually yes, I am aware of the cars around me coming from all directions and slow down if I think someone is going to run a red light and hit me. BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A DEATH WISH. Drivers also need to be paying attention and not blindly blasting through intersections. You give absolutely horrible advice and must be a truly terrible driver and pedestrian. I have never been in an accident because I PAY ATTENTION.

Really? You slow down and check for cars coming in the opposite direction at every intersection? Even when the speed limit is 45+? That’s impressive mama.
