[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Europe, and I have never felt so vulnerable as when crossing suburban roads in the US, for exactly the reason you mention, OP. Here most locations are built to accommodate the fastest and most mindless car driving experience, and it follows that drivers are not alert when people or animals cross their paths.

In Paris and other city or country locations in Europe (I've lived all over), ALL drivers are also pedestrians. It goes with the lifestyle. The layout is also more pedestrian-friendly since most locations in Europe were built before the invention of the car. As a result, it's the drivers who need to be constantly on alert, because the lanes are narrow, the turns can be sharp with no visibility, traffic lights or stop signs are sprinkled frequently on their way... in brief, it's not as easy to mindlessly drive for a long way and then hit a pedestrian when you enter a populated area. You'd hit a cow or a building first, or drive straight across a roundabout, and drivers don't want to do that :-)

Your problem is that you're in the suburbs. Ditch that hellhole and come into the city.[/quote]

I'd love to, but the houses cost 3x as much. Tell Uncle Sam to pay me more.[/quote]
