I feel like even if you think the car might slow down, just don’t walk in front of it. Alberta has a bunch of crosswalks in the middle of roads that wouldn’t otherwise be a stop for a vehicle. They trip me out, I basically wave at the oncoming traffic before ever leaving the sidewalk. Other pedestrians don’t even slow down to look at traffic and it boggles my mind. They aren’t 14 year olds getting alcohol poisoning at a small town fair at the age were they are supposed to feel invincible. They are grown ass men and women who somehow still didn’t get the message that they aren’t invincible.
