New street crossing alerts drivers if pedestrian is looking at their phone

[Bod]

A hi-tech crossing which alerts drivers when a pedestrian using a mobile
phone steps in front of traffic has been unveiled.

The surface of the so-called smart crossing features LED lights which
illuminate based on the movement of road users detected by cameras.

This means a thick red line lights up across the road when someone walks
out unexpectedly.

So they expect drivers to avoid fuckwits not paying attention? Or are we supposed to accelerate?

Q: Do you ever think before you post, Birdbrain?
A: No.
I have seen you post numerous stupid comments, but you have excelled
yourself this time.
You are 100% a prick.

Mr Pounder believes it's ok for a pedestrian to blindly cross the road without looking, and it's up to the driver to avoid him.

Having now got the OAP bus pass I often go into town and sit upstairs
on one of the front seats.

As the bus goes through town numerous folk seem oblivious to any
traffic and merely cross, admittedly at a zebra, without a glance
whether or not they are on their phone.

The drivers, who definitely have more patience than I, clearly are
anticipating as can be felt by the throttle being lifted or a bit of
precautionery brake before the pedestrian has reached anywhere near
the edge of the kerb.

Then the number who dawdle across, oblivious to the fact they are
holding up 50 passengers, is staggering.

Personally I'd put cow catchers on the front, and I mega-loud sound
system, or alternatively allow natural selection to take place.

Because no road user should have to pay attention to the safety of
themselves or others, it's all too much for the poor dears to think
about ...

I can't tell if you're having a go at the moronic pedestrian who's never heard of the green cross code, or the driver who you think should for some reason avoid fuckwits that need splatted from the gene pool.

Do you look both ways before crossing?

I don't stop at zebras unless the pedestrian is already there and facing across the road. There is no legal obligation to do so either. The pedestrian must request to cross.
