There is a yellow sign a few feet back indicating the presence of pedestrians. This is a 30MPH road.  A vigilant driver, going 30MPH, should have been able to see the family and stop - and the stopped car in the left lane should have added to their caution, even if there was a chance it was waiting to turn.

But we want the right to drive at 40MPH, without being vigilant, on roads like that, so we blame the people crossing in the crosswalk instead.

Then when people cross OUTSIDE crosswalks, we say "safety problems are caused by jaywalkers" and wonder why people cross where there is no crosswalk.[/quote]

Well, duh! If people don't want to get hit crossing the road, then they shouldn't cross the road! They should get into a car and drive, like normal people!

Or so I infer, from some of the comments.[/quote]\

No, they should follow the very basic principals of safe biking, which they could easily learn if they bothered to.  [/quote]
