The French will try to run you over, and the Italians actively speed up when they see a pedestrian.

In the UK you actually do have to stop and people do even Audi drivers stop sometimes.

In the US, you can only get them to stop if you get hit. And that's only a maybe.

Pedestrians and bicycles aren't even second class citizens in the states.

In SEA, the vehicles don't stop, but they will try to go around you. So the key is to walk at a constant pace.

The graveyard is filled with people who had the right of way.

It's the same where I live, and yet i have been almost run over twice in the last two weeks alone
