[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all of those supporting no right on red, I hope you also will be calling for all pedestrians to stay on the curb as soon as the walk signal turns flashing orange. Under the law, if you are in the intersection, you may finish crossing, but if you haven’t started, you need to wait until the next walk cycle. Too many walkers start after the light begins to flash, which reduces the time for cars to turn. If everyone wants safer intersections, everyone has to do their part. [/quote]

NP. I totally agree with this! Everyone has their role to play in traffic safety. It's just that more of the burden is on the person operating the multi-ton vehicle, since they're the one who could kill someone, should they behave carelessly.[/quote]
If someone is jaywalking and gets themselves killed, the driver of the car didn’t kill them anymore than if someone walks off a cliff the cliff killed them. Their own recklessness killed them. [/quote]

People do not "get themselves killed" unless they are trying on purpose to do it. People who are killed by drivers are killed by drivers.[/quote]

If they are being careless then yes they can get themselves killed. Like people who try to out the buffalo or get too close to geysers. [/quote]
