I'm in a similar situation and completely agree. A large portion of the US road infrastructure was designed specifically to accommodate cars and nothing else. On my walks to work I often have to step in to the street because the sidewalk dissappears, or there are no crosswalks. Behavior of drivers is a problem, cell phone usage especially. But I also believe we need to seriously update our urban design in this country, so that people who want to, you know, use their feet, can get around safely.
