The RCMP in Richmond, B.C., put out this video showing a woman wearing earbuds who puts up her hoodie in the rain. She activates the lights at a marked crosswalk and begins to cross a road.
Meanwhile, a driver distracted by a phone call doesn't notice what's in front of him and continues at full speed, reaching the crosswalk just as she is in the middle of crossing.
The tag line: "Pedestrian safety is a two-way street." 🤔
@robsonfletcher I don't see this as being much different from the posts various police forces put out reminding people not to leave their cars running inviting thieves. Certainly, the law breaker is the thief, and, in your example, the driver of the car, but as children we are all taught to look both ways before crossing the street.
