[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that you draw the conclusion in your tittle from that story. [/quote]

Just drive the beltway and Rt. 50 and the findings will be conclusive. MD drivers are the worst and the most dangerous.[/quote]

Theres nothing in that article that suggest that MD fatalities are 100% by MD drivers and that includes statistics in any state.

I drive 50 between Bowie and Annapolis 2x per day for camp and at least 1/2 of the cars are non-MD plates.

With that said, pedestrian safety is not a top concern for anyone in the state- local all up to Gov. Nor is speeding. Nor is reckless driving. Nor is funding transportation for all students that attend public schools in the state. Pedestrian crossings are at most- two strips of white line and a sign placed randomly, usually covered by tree overgrowth, with cars speeding 40-50 mph in a 20-25mph.
Do the cops give tickets? No.
Do the cops stand at crossings to catch people speeding or not stopping for pedestrians? No
Do we have crossing guards at intersections? No.

People who dont walk dont value pedestrians and think that the car is primary. You have people in cars 24/7. They dont care.
