The crosswalk designed to appease angry drivers (The Future Is LA)
LA protects drivers' feelings at pedestrians' expense, and it's killing us. A crosswalk in my neighborhood makes people wait up to 60 seconds so cars don't get annoyed. Pedestrians give up and just cross. Why have a signal at all?
It all stems from the city's codependent relationship with drivers. We won't achieve Vision Zero until it ends.
