Thanks Obama!

Teaching people that pedestrians have the right of way is partially to blame. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people just step into traffic without looking because they know the car is required to stop. There was a teenage girl in my community who stepped in front of two lanes of cars just as their light turned green and a guy in the passing lane came barreling down the hill through the green light and hit her because he didn't see her in front of the lane she forced to stop until he was under the light. Another thing is people walking FACING traffic. If you are facing traffic and a car is pulling out to turn right from a road or driveway, their focus is looking for an opening on their left. I have witnessed two bike accidents because they were facing traffic and pulled in front of cars turning right while looking to their left.
