I really enjoyed this article about the Mexican guy who dresses like a superhero and protects pedestrians from all sorts of evils. If there are no white lines painted as a cross walk then he paints them. If vehicles are parked on sidewalks he moves them.
It definitely makes me smile, but it is a very serious issue both there and in the U.S. I only see it getting worse.
Now that people are texting and driving 1500 super rams, the "ram" ifications of a driver hitting a pedestrian are even worse then before. The police don't care and are in fact a part of the problem.
Just this morning I was nearly hit by 2 vehicles who drove into the ped walkway even tho' I had the right of way. I yelled as loud as I could because the one driver had his window up.
I said: HEY YOU WAIT, I HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY! He heard me and came to a sudden stop. He had not even seen me.
The only answer is to buy a car.
