[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is like talking to a wall. The drivers have to stop because they are going to have a red light, however, make sure everyone is fully stopped before you listen to your walk signal. I see pedestrians do crazy stuff, as if they are wearing a shield of armor [/quote]

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.[/quote]

Ok well we had 20 kids slaughtered in their classroom awhile back and hundreds of kids since then and we can't/won't pass any gun legislation.
We can't/won't finance our public schools properly.
So while you wait on the will and the funding to change all the millions of miles of roadways, [b]I'm gonna keep my head up and pay attention[/b]. Just like while we all try to raise better boys, I'm gonna teach my daughter self defense, common sense safety and get her some mace. [/quote]

Yes, of course you should do that. It's better than not doing it. But it's no guarantee. And telling other people to do it is not only no guarantee, it's ineffective. All it does is place the burden of not getting run over on the pedestrian, which is exactly where it doesn't belong.[/quote]
