LMAO works flawlessly in other countries is a hilarious way to say that people still get hit by cars and are injured, or worse, in crosswalks where countries do have hefty fines for not stopping for pedestrians. Also someone would have to actually enforce that.
As a, quite sad, example - a child was killed at a crossing near a school near me when a person who wasn’t paying attention ran them over in the crosswalk. Guess what, here in America where I live there is a fine and it’s even more if you’re in a school zone. Did not flawlessly stop that kid from dying.
Well, I live in Europe and in my and in neighbouring countries it works overall flawflessly.
Cars usually stop at pedestrian crossings, without anyone having to carry flags, warning lights etc.
Don’t want to sound rude, but the USA (I assume you refer to when talking about “america”) is really not a good example for anything when it comes to topics concerning considering others.
Also if there’s a lack of enforcement, maybe try less enforcing other shit and concentrate on enforcing things which are valueable for everyone. Freedom my ass…
British here, and yeah, pedestrians absolutely have priority over cars at zebra crossings. In my 45 years I can count on one hand the number of times motorists have zipped past without stopping to let me cross.
