    go panhandle somewhere you aren’t likely to get run over

    Again, fighting the symptoms and not the cause. Cause, god forbid, we have pedestrian friendly infrastructure.

    Pedestrians getting hit by cars is not the fault of the pedestrian. It is the result of inconsiderate drivers not paying attention with their two ton death machines and infrastructure designed to cater to drivers at the expense of being hostile to pedestrians

      We’re not talking about pedestrians on planned intersections. We’re talking about not encouraging people to run onto an active highway. It’s rather hard to design a system for pedestrian safety and for drivers to avoid accidents when people break all the rules.
