I've almost been run over a few times when having the “walk” signal. I am amazed at how little respect drives have for pedestrians. I think we should unite and demand drivers to drive careful mostly at intersections. Drivers run lights, they don’t stop before turning right and we have to always be scared when crossing. I moved here from Canada and we can walk freely in any street because drivers stop and check before they turn. Every intersection has cameras where drivers can get caught if running lights. I think Washington should consider having cameras at every intersection. This will stop drivers from running lights and create a safer environment for pedestrians.
