pedestrians who think "I have the right of way, they have to stop for me" and this is not the right way to think.

Legally, sure, you have the right of way, which does you zero good when you are dead.

Responses:

but why is the onus on pedestrians to change their behaviour instead of the driver? yes, i pay attention to avoid death, but, the RESPONSIBILITY is - Andie Jun 4, 09:06 6
- because not everyone does. You may be careful, but walkers also can cause accidents. - groiny Jun 4, 09:10 5
  - I've seen people run lights five seconds after it turns red, having covered 150m in that time. Pedestrians would be well into the assumption of a safe - Reagen Jun 4, 09:37 4
    - and stupid people still get hit by trains, which should never happen. -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 09:54 1
      - Some of which can be prevented by better design - Reagen Jun 4, 09:57
    - right, as as I said earlier in a thread, the red light camera is no help for that situation. - groiny Jun 4, 09:54 1
      - If the goal is to make nothing bad happen ever, you'll never do anything. Harm reduction, then try for perfection. - Reagen Jun 4, 09:56
especially in larger cities where traffic is SO bad. nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 4, 09:06
