This is a Dangerous Environment
"Just because there's a livable streets revolution underway in NYC doesn't mean that drivers have gotten the message. Cars blocking crosswalks, drivers failing to yield to pedestrians, unnecessary honking and a slew of other quality-of-walking violations are still a routine occurrence to contend with on nearly every corner of New York City," say our friends at StreetFilms. It reminds me of how freaked out I was by traffic the few times I went to NYC as a pedestrian. What do you think? Is it possible for motorists to learn to behave more sanely around pedestrians, or is the car itself causing the problem and we can't expect things to get much better? Let us know what you think in the comments.
