The designs of most cities in the U.S. absolutely treat pedestrians as second class citizens compared to automobile traffic. I'm currently working on a project that demonstrates exactly this (among other things) in Dallas. It's both sad and amusing how true it is.
- giantg2 3y agoIs there any example? It seem a hard argument to make when pedestrians have the priority as soon as they step into the crosswalk.
- Mawr 3y agoThe best example is that even your curious question comes with a car-minded implicit assumption that it's the pedestrian who is crossing, not the car. In a pedestrian-centric design, cars are the ones who cross. See https://youtu.be/_ByEBjf9ktY?t=690 https://youtu.be/_ByEBjf9ktY?t=690.
