Every country besides the US with fewer pedestrian deaths probably got that way by having their pedestrians wear bright colours and wave a flag whenever they cross the road. /s
It’s because they all know to transform into 2d stick people to become harder to hit.
Nobody in America pays attention to the crosswalk signs :(
Gotta love how the most efficient place to cross busy urban road networks is ANYWHERE but the junctions where crosswalks always are. Walk down the connector street until there happens to be no traffic, cross right there and then wherever you are on the street. You can just wait til that right moment where the street is totally empty by walking towards the next intersection. Pedestrians crossing at intersections is my opinion often more dangerous and far less efficient for everybody involved, cars and pedestrians included.
Jaywalk like a good, practical criminal.
They’re too large to move fast enough
The cars? Or the people?
Both.
Lets not cheapen a good conversation with fatphobia.
Geez I wonder why
It’s cars.
I’m getting real confused here. This has been about the 5th or 6th article about this topic in the past week.
One says deaths are consistent, one says 10,000 a couple years ago, another says 7,600 last year, others blame distractions, drivers, poor lighting, right on red…
I feel like there is a big mystery out there a bunch or journalists are trying to find but there is no consensus between publications.
I’m not sure this link is an article because there was nothing to read, just 3 links to other pieces.
