Agreed. Honestly I am more concerned about getting hit by a moped or bicycle than a car. These people ride on the sidewalks, on the wrong side of the road, and dont obey redlights or traffic signals. Cars can generally just be avoided by looking both ways while crossing the road. You cant tell a moped is behind you on the sidewalk though unless you have eyes on the back of your head.

If pedestrians follow traffic regulations, they are generally crossing infront of stopped cars. People fall or get pushed infront of subway tracks all the time. You also have people exploring subway tracks. The top post in the micromobility sub this week is some guy riding his bicycle on the subway tracks.

Should we lower the speed of the subway trains to 10 MPH to lower deaths? There were 137 pedestrians killed by motor-vehicle accidents in 2014 when Vision Zero went into effect. There were 123 pedestrians killed in 2021. There has been virtually no difference since all of this nonsense with the speed limit and speeding cameras started.
