    It would be very good for pedestrian deaths if somebody spray painted a garbage can black, put it on that crosswalk in the middle of the night, and filled it with bricks. That way, all the people who drive their cars too fast will crash into it and learn to be more careful.

      How about we build a raised crosswalk so cars naturally have to slow down to cross it, which will make them more aware of anyone attempting to cross at the crosswalk and lower the speed, which will lower impact forces, if they still get hit.

        Cars have crumple zones. Nobody would be hurt, and it would prevent pedestrians from being hurt in the future.

          Except for the fact that people sometimes get seriously injured in 15 mph accidents all the time

          you realize that not everyone is as healthy/strong as the average man. do you really want an elderly person or a chronically ill person subjected to a head on collision ?

            If they don’t want to smash into things, they can drive to the conditions. Their cars have lights, it’s just a matter of using them properly by driving at an appropriate speed.

              the ‘conditions’ dont include a maniac camouflaging dangerous objects to purposely make innocent people crash.

                If they didn’t smash into the bin, then sooner or later they’d risk smashing people instead. Drag would rather bins be run over than people. They won’t be innocent when their reckless driving gets someone killed.

                  Actually, I agree! We should also shoot dead drug users and lowlifes… otherwise they’re going to hurt someone eventually!

                    Letting reckless drivers run over a bin won’t cause any deaths unless they’re going fast enough to turn a pedestrian into red paint. For all real world cases, it’ll simply be a bit of self-inflicted property damage.
