I believe something should be done to help pedestrians to figure out where to cross. [/quote]

I disagree,  and I am in the camp that  we need to begin removing warning labels not adding them and let Darwin  take over.

if you weed out the stupid people, then society as  a whole gets better....

if you are a pedestrian and you cant figure out that its not safe or smart to cross in the middle of a block, or try to run across 4 lanes of traffic.  then you kind of deserve to be a wet spot on the ground.

If you are new to the county.  better get on board with how a first world country operates.  You're not in your old shithole town anymore, this is the big leagues.

you cannot legislate common sense.  Don't eve bother trying.

And yes I know that I'll get a few post that are calling me a heartless cvnt,  but I don't care.[/quote]

So I agree with the above PP, but for different reasons. 
There are some studies out there that if ALL signs are taken away, both pedestrians and drivers behave much more carefully and accidents go down. It feels counter-intuitive, but it's along the same theory that if you DON'T do the thinking for them, people realize they have to think for themselves.  I recall they took all signs out of a whole town to test this out.[/quote]
