For the 4th time within a span of a couple of months motorists didn't stop for me and my baby at crosswalks in Vancouver. I guess crosswalks are just decoration in Vancouver.

    I wasn't expecting that.

    Somewhere in Latin America, well, then it's just balls to the walls, death match between pedestrians and motorists.

    It used to be bad here too, but they've cracked down a lot on it.

      I know that's not how people imagine Canada, but this has been happening too often. It makes me angry. Looks like a major crackdown is in order, with more than slap-on-the-wrist punishments since it can kill people. Sadly, people tend to do what they can get away with, and only stop at the point where law enforcement is in place.

    Hey come on to the great Western US where you get the double whammy. Not only do people just run over pedestrians - pedestrians are becoming so stupid they will walk out into roads with cars coming straight at them. Guess that's nature's way of natural selection, eh? I lived near Portland Oregon for a few years and drivers there just run over people in the cross walks (even if the lights are red). I thought they were the worst drivers on earth until I got here to CA. But having pedestrians stupid enough to walk right in front of moving cars doesn't help make anyone behind the wheel look like world class drivers either.
