[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pedestrian safety requires eye contact with the driver. Nobody in DC makes eye contact that is why pedestrians have so many problems.

AGAIN...how would eye contact have helped the OP who was deep within the crosswalk when a speeding driver ran the stop sign? [/quote]

If you read the article you will see you don't step into the crosswalk until you make eye contact and you know they are stopping. [/quote]

If you read the OP, you would see that the other driver was not near the intersection at the time AND blew through a stop sign.

Are you REALLY suggesting pedestrians wait until there are zero cars on the horizon or until every car in the distance is RIGHT near them? How would that even work with timers and common sense?[/quote]
