3. I know nothing of the circumstances, but pedestrian v MV deaths are dramatically on rise nationwide

As one who frequently walks with my pup pre-dawn, I've noticed a dramatic increase in those who in the early morning run red lights--even with me in a lit pedestrian crosswalk or don't even glance when turning right on red or making a left turn with pedestrian light lit. I was given a red/blue flashing police light to wear by a concerned local community police officer (who took a recent complaint) and admittedly that gets more attention, but it doesn't seem to matter how many lights I wear nor how much highly reflective clothing. Hell, it isn't much better (and is in some cases worse) in broad daylight.
