Read many posts and what many folks are missing is the amount of space the US has... it takes more than 1 day of driving to get across Texas alone.
Where I live there arent even roads being improved in many areas. You just drive across the dirt
None of the countries folks are comparing have close to the amount of space to cover.
Yes bigger metro areas are dense enough to have public transit... problem is most folks dont live in that area and commute in. Example ...areas like the SF bay area has folks traveling 2 hrs 1 way on train or car to get to the office
- howlgarnish 6y agoUhh, nobody gets cited for jaywalking in rural Texas. Also Australians find Texas small and cute: https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/australia/texas-usa https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/aust...

- strken 6y agoI live in Australia, which has less than a tenth of the US population on a land mass the size of the continental US. We allow pedestrians to cross the road unless they're within 20 metres of a crossing. If anything, lower population density should mean more rights for pedestrians, since there will be roads which see no traffic for hours or even days.
- adrianN 6y agoI doubt that pedestrians are trying to cross Texas on foot.
- pksebben 6y agoHow does this relate to jaywalking? Is there some correlation between acreage and risk to pedestrians? I'm confused.
