we need to stop coddling pedestrians drivers because they’re too unwilling to be safe when they cross drive.
Why are you trying to put all the responsibility on pedestrians, people out walking, instead of drivers, who need to pass a driving test and need a driver's license in order to operate their multiple tons of machinery in public places? What's the point of it all if not making drivers more responsible for their actions?
A better solution would just be to strip the right of way from pedestrians
Further addressing the issue would mean putting in additional crosswalks to prevent jay-walking and unsafe crossings, as would improved public transit.
How would that help? If pedestrians don't have the right of way, why does it matter if they're in the crosswalk or not? It's not like they'd be any more protected from the speeding cars that are no longer obligated to stop for them just because there's some paint on the ground.
If we’re so hellbent on speeding drivers, maybe we should also start ticketing people who walk faster than most on the sidewalk too?
If that person could kill or maim someone by walking into them, then maybe. As it is, cars have the highest potential for damage and loss of life, so they should have the most rules restricting them.
everybody would get their panties in a bunch over that too because of this stupid selfish mentality that people have
How is this not exactly what you're doing right now about cars not being able to speed without punishment?
