No, I don't support reducing vehicle speeds on big arterials.  I support pedestrians using their heads and obeying laws, so that they don't get hurt.

And please, with your logic above about extra time (1/3).  MoCo has made it their goal, all over the County, to add as many impediments to drivers as possible.  Yes, spending an extra 30 minutes a day navigating traffic is life-sucking.  It has all kinds of public health implications.  Should pedestrians be able to walk on safe sidewalks and cross intersections without fearing for their life?  Yes.  Should the entire suburban infrastructure be re-made to prioritize pedestrians? No.  There are urban landscapes where you can achieve this.  Most people who buy in MoCo want to live in the suburbs, not in the city, despite the efforts of the Planning Commission and the transportation bureaucrats.[/quote]

Yeah, you're saying that your time is worth more than someone's life.[/quote]

Their life won't be in danger if they follow traffic laws.  And careful drivers are always watching for kids along the side of the road, anyway.[/quote]
