Anecdata: I used to cycle and run a lot, even went through a phase of biking to work ~14 miles.
It seems to be that the wealthier the area you're in, the more people think you as a pedestrian should yield to them, even if you are in a crosswalk at a stop sign and they are trying to blow the stop sign.
Less wealthy areas, people watch out and seem more courteous of cyclists and people on foot.
- hermitcrab 3y agoThere were some scientific studies done that support exactly what you suggest. People in expensive cars are less likely to yield. However the research may have been done by some of the behaviour economists recently busted for cheating. ;0)
