[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So looking both ways and paying attention according to you has NO impact in safety. OK :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

TELLING PEOPLE to look both ways and pay attention has as much impact on actual safety for actual pedestrians as TELLING PEOPLE to eat broccoli and limit salt has on the actual healthfulness of actual people's diets.

When people get killed while walking, it's not because they didn't look both ways and didn't pay attention. It's because they were trying to walk in places where walking is dangerous, due to bad road design, distracted drivers, and SUVs.[/quote]

You can’t have it both ways.  You have blame all pedestrian accidents on drivers but then say drivers are faultless too even if they aren’t driving defensively.  If you had any sense you would walk and drive defensively.  It

If you enjoy placing blame rather than looking at the data and trying to fix the problems, then go right ahead and keep doing what you're doing.[/quote]

People make mistakes.  What you want to look for in data is how to prevent people from making the same mistakes.  Not denying they made any.  If you ignore the mistake aspect your data won’t be as effective.  Like the school training program.  It works.[/quote]
