Compare and contrast with what happened in my town in SW France: Council installed one of those super secure crossings that take forever to let people cross the street. Twice if you want to cross diagonally Some old people don’t give a shit because they must be thinking that life is too short for this, and they yolo it Most drivers stop but some are unattentive A couple of accidents happen The old people lobby give some shit to the mayor A different crossing is installed that stops the drivers all the time Most drivers are OK, the shitty ones are angry Everybody nice profits, another victory for the old gits who cross when and where they want. They’ll do it again
