[quote=Anonymous][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]

Like telling them to look both ways both crossing a street? [/quote]

If you’re in a car do you look both ways before passing through a green light to make sure no one is running a red light from the other way? At every intersection?

Because essentially that’s what we are asking pedestrians to do- even if crossing with a light, they should apparently be anticipating every car’s move.[/quote]

Actually yes, I am aware of the cars around me coming from all directions and slow down if I think someone is going to run a red light and hit me.  BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A DEATH WISH.  Drivers also need to be paying attention and not blindly blasting through intersections.  You give absolutely horrible advice and must be a truly terrible driver and pedestrian.  I have never been in an accident because I PAY ATTENTION.[/quote]
