Just be a pedestrian or cyclist for a single day, and you won't need a study to convince you how dangerous drivers are.

And the solution, unfortunately, are things that would piss motorists off, so good luck getting them implemented.

And to the lady who had near misses while driving, then points out that some cyclists aren't wearing helmets: shame on you. We don't need to be lit up like christmas trees, or padded up like we were going to fight a grizzly bear; we need drivers to pay more attention.

It's really fun in the Phoenix area, where walk lights are barely long enough for an able-bodied person to walk across the street, I really feel for anyone with mobility issues that doesn't have a car... Not to mention how often cars just cruise through the crosswalk before stopping for a right on red... If they stop at all... When I'm driving and need to make a turn, I feel like I'm the only person that looks up and down the sidewalk and behind me for any cyclist that might have missed my signal...
