    It would be nice if the roads that lacked a crossing weren’t so lethal to pedestrians. Maybe remind drivers that other people use the road as well as them?

      The problem is that they don’t care. If anything is impeding their travel from A to B, drivers get angry at it. Doesn’t matter if it’s someone going the speed limit or a pedestrian. It’s in the way, therefore it’s bad.

        The number of people who creep forward and honk at seniors crossing a street at a crosswalk while they have the signal is absurd. Imagine being so impatient that you nearly run over your own grandmother to shave 5 seconds off your travel time.

        I specifically try to never let a car take my right of way while crossing, too often i see people just wave a left turning car through then 5 other cars go and now the crossing is red and you have to wait another 5 minute for a safe chance to cross.
