I walk from my home to work and to my college, both of which are about a half mile from my home. In the past 6 months or so, I've almost been run over 3 times. However, where I live there are crosswalks and stop signs everywhere. While I definitely agree that poor planning can create tragic instances like the one described in the article, I also believe drivers themselves are at fault. A lot of the times, drivers are very reckless and in a hurry. Perhaps continual driving classes would also remedy this issue?
