So everyone should change their habits just in case there is some moron crossing in the middle of the street with no crosswalk and when cars have a green?

How about we improve safety in this instance by discouraging pedestrians from doing wildly dangerous things rather that requiring drivers to completely jackass proof pedestrians.

There are plenty of examples where drivers need to change behavior for pedestrian safety, but this isn't one of them.

And this speed limit was changed because one moron was driving 100 mph and hit people.  Obviously that guy was at fault, but that doesn't 45 mph is unsafe or shouldn't be the limit.[/quote]

Yes, everyone should change their habits so that fewer people die on the roads. I think that's worth an extra minute per car trip, don't you?

Also, in Maryland, EVERY intersection is a legal crosswalk, and the law requires drivers to stop for pedestrians at ALL crosswalks. The crosswalks with paint on the pavement, and the crosswalks with no paint on the pavement. Do you do that?

SHA has been treating River Road like a limited access highway, and that needs to change. For one thing, it leads drivers like OP to speed and then get speeding tickets. [/quote]
