We know that stupid ass pedestrians, children, drunkards, cranksters, and escaped convicts might dash out at any time, and drivers are on notice to be on the lookout and slow and stop for these.
They also need to stop for boorish, self-important city fools who CHOOSE to step out in front of traffic even when the lights say "Don't Walk".
Everyone here in California knows this, CreekDog.
So, would you care to respond to whether or not it would be a good idea for cities to adopt controlled intersections as described in my earlier reply, in which N-S, E-W, and pedestrian traffic all have their turns, that none are permitted to move at the same time.
(not that drivers could plow over scofflaws, they still need to slow for pedestrians who cross against lights)
My plan is safest for busy intersections, we've been doing it in some cities for generations.
No right on red, and an all pedestrians may walk rotation in the signal light program.
