The graphic is incredible!!!!  
Really brings it all together for me.

Isn't Jay-walking illegal or at least warrants a ticket? Citizens arrest? I liked the graphic too - although I thought he was walking at an angle to be even more of a jerk. I think P.E.S.T.S. manifests itself in drivers too. I was behind an average aged adult riding a motorcycle doing 20 in a 35. So why is it considered rude that I honk when he is being rude by not even going the speed limit? I think the size rule applies here too - i could easily have run his little jerk butt over in my car. Good think I am not a suicidal maniac driver!

You're exactly right, Josie. 
 
I've seen it with bicyclists as well, swerving all over the road to keep me behind them, rather than moving to the side to allow me to pass. 
 
A lot of the time, it's pre-teen to teen kids that do this sort of thing. I always find myself grumbling to myself that their parents need to teach them that cars are dangerous. More than that, they need to teach them that idiot drivers are even more dangerous.

This sounds like a case of walkers not knowing how to walk in a city and drivers not knowing how to drive in a city. This situation tends to occur in areas where a lot of the residents have grown up in suburban/rural households. This also occurrs in areas that have lots of tourists, especially tourists that grew up in suburban/rural households. 
 
I haven't had too much of this experience here in Hutch because there's not much pedestrian or vehicular traffic and I live just a short drive from work.  
 
Where I went to college was a different story. Kids (my classmates) would dart across the middle of the street rather than walk the extra 40' to the intersection and wait for the light to change in their favor. Then they would flip off the car that almost ran them over. 
 
Conversely, there would occaionally be pedestrian crosswalks in the middle of the block between intersections. South Carolina law says: "Yield to Pedestrians in crosswalk". South Carolina drivers say "what pedestrians? what crosswalk?" You could stand at a crosswalk for 10 minutes during a busy time of day and NO ONE would stop to let you cross (which was technically required by law). Except people from Ohio. There was one particular crosswalk by the library that almost no one stopped at, and any time someone did I'd check their plate. They were almost always from Ohio - sometimes Maryland or Virginia. 
 
Also, if there is any chance that someone might walk across an intersection you're stopped at and you plan on turning, please use your turn signal. If you have your turn signal on, many pedestrians will let you go ahead unless you wave them across. I don't know how many times in how many cities I've started walking at a green light only to have someone try to turn right and then give me the evil eye. Hello, I have the right of way and you didn't have your signal on!! 
 
So, if you're a walker, only cross when you have a ggreen light. If the "do not walk" sign is flashing, proceed with caution. If you're driving, slow down and use your signal. If you're old and you walk across the street really slow because you've had both hips replaced, I will not run you down. If you're 17 and you shuffle across the street because you think it's funny or because you're doped up and you're neurons are firing at 1/8th their regular speed, I will honk at you. If you are driving and I'm walking and you have your turn signal on, I will wait until you turn to start walking. If you have no signal on and you turn into me and your bumper is in the crosswalk and you're giving me the evil eye, I'll probably slap the hood of your car. If it's not in Hutchinson, I'll probably give you the finger, too, because you deserve it. 
 
Lesson of the day, kids: While walking or driving, excercise caution, curteosy, and good judgement, and if you act like a douche, don't be surprised if you get treated like one. 
 
(In case you couldn't tell, this is one of my hot-button issues.)

This entire article was purely pedestrian. :)

How quickly we forget the pedestrian rules we learned in grade school and the drivers ed rules from high school. I often wonder at what point I truly became the adult and got annoyed at kids breaking the rules - which by the way is a bad thing to do in my neighborhood because I will be the first to call the cops. Fortunately I moved to a better neighborhood with owned residences. It's the transient college students that are the worst I think.  
 
In light of Farley's comments on North Carolina, I just wanted to warn people to use extra caution if ever visiting Utah as well. When I lived there it was horrible. The drivers would run you over, even if you were the 80 year old hip-replaced walker-using shuffler in the crosswalk. If you didn't have a car you didn't belong anywhere near the street - sometimes the sidewalk either (despite the name implying you can walk there). There were reports daily about cars running red lights - sometimes as many as 8-10 through the same light - in a school zone. No kidding! Any question as to why I moved back here? At least I know the traffic will break enough for me to scurry across the street and that most people know the purpose and rules for those using the crosswalk and signals!

Is that the Lincoln "BA" Model in the graphic???

I agree w/farley. 
 
To sum up: 
 
When your feet or tires hit the pavement, don't forget the golden rule and if you don't...expect the silver rule to take effect. 
 
Do unto others as you would expect to be done to you if you are acting like a horse's rear.

DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS 
The driver’s responsibility is greater than that of the pedestrian, since a motor vehicle 
with its greater weight and speed is much more destructive. 
A pedestrian sometimes does thoughtless or foolish things. But, in spite of this, if 
your vehicle is under control at all times you should be able to avoid hitting him. 
The pedestrians killed and injured are usually persons who are unfamiliar with automobiles 
or those who are not as alert as the average person. Older persons who 
move slowly and cannot see or hear well are frequently involved in such accidents. 
Children are the next group most frequently involved in pedestrian accidents. They 
do not realize the danger of playing in or crossing the streets. 
RULES FOR DRIVERS 
1. If there are no traffic control signals, drivers must slow down or stop for pedestrians 
within a marked or unmarked crosswalk. 
2. When making a left or right turn at any intersection, drivers must yield the rightof- 
way to pedestrians. 
3. After coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, drivers must yield the right-ofway 
to pedestrians before proceeding. 
4. At traffic signals, after the light turns green, drivers must yield to pedestrians 
who have entered the crosswalk before the light changed. 
5. When entering a street or highway from an alley or driveway, drivers must stop 
before crossing sidewalk and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians. 
6. Drivers must always come to a complete stop when approaching a blind person 
who is crossing a street or highway, when such person is carrying a white 
cane or is being guided by a dog, regardless of any traffic control signs or 
signals which may be in operation. After stopping, a driver must take such 
precautions as may be necessary before proceeding in order to avoid injury to 
the blind person. 
7. Be on the look out for pedestrians in order to avoid injuring them, regardless of 
who has the right-of-way. 
RULES FOR PEDESTRIANS 
1. Cross at intersections only with “walk signal” or green light. 
2. Cross in pedestrian lanes when possible. 
3. Look in both directions before crossing a street or highway. 
4. Do not step from the curb when it will interfere with vehicular traffic. 
5. Never stand in the street waiting for a signal to change. 
6. Never enter the street from behind a parked car. 
7. Never stand in the street or on the highway to solicit a ride, as hitchhiking is 
dangerous and should be avoided. 
8. Always wear white or light-colored clothing, or carry a light when you are on 
the street or highway at night. 
9. Never walk in the street or highway when sidewalk or pathway is available. 
10. Always walk on the left side of the highway or street facing the oncoming 
traffic, and always step off of the roadway when a motor vehicle approaches. 
— 24 — 
A blind person legally has the right-of-way when: 
1. Wearing a white cloth tied around their arm. 
2. Accompanied by another person. 
3. Wearing a white coat and trousers. 
4. Using a white cane or led by a dog. 
The correct answer is No. 4. 
WHEN BICYCLES ARE PRESENT 
As an operator of a bicycle, the cyclist is expected to obey all traffic laws and regulations 
on the streets, roads, and highways of the State. However, whether the bicyclist 
is operating lawfully or not, give the rider the benefit of the doubt. As a motorist 
you should realize that the bicyclist has the same rights and responsibilities as you. 
Mutual respect for one another will aid in smooth, traffic flow. The bicycle is a slowmoving 
and highly vulnerable vehicle, and almost any type of collision will result in 
injury or death to the rider. You should keep the following facts and safety tips firmly in 
mind: 
1. Be especially careful when passing a bicycle. Sometimes the cyclist is inexperienced; 
sometimes the rider may make an unexpected maneuver. Give a bicycle 
plenty of room, and be prepared for a quick stop. 
2. Remember that a bicycle is sometimes difficult to see amid other traffic. The 
hours of darkness, or when visibility conditions are poor, are especially dangerous. 
Be watchful of cyclists along the road or intersections, and adjust your movements 
to allow for any turns they may make. 
3. If the cyclist is traveling between you and the side of road as you are preparing to 
turn, be sure the cyclist knows of your intention, and is not in your path as you 
make the turn. If the rider is riding along the right edge of the roadway, in accordance 
with the law, your must wait until the cyclist slows down to allow you to turn 
in front of the cycle, or proceeds through the turning area before you make your 
turn. 
TO THE BICYCLIST 
Keeping three important principles in mind will help the adult bicyclist to share the 
road safely with motor vehicles and pedestrians: control, predictability, and visibility. 
Before you venture into traffic, make sure that you have mastered the control of 
your bicycle; riding in a straight line, and turning and stopping smoothly. Riding your 
bicycle in a predictable manner is essential to your safety on the road. This means 
riding with the traffic, not against it; signaling your intentions clearly and in plenty of 
time; and choosing a path of travel which won’t result in you swerving into traffic to 
avoid hazards. Increasing your visibility will help to protect you on the road. Clothes 
of bright colors during the day, and white or yellow plastic is an excellent option; it will 
both protect you and make you more visible. At night, always have the required headlight 
and rear reflector on your bicycle; a red taillight and additional reflectors are also 
helpful. 
BICYCLES 
Motorists in Kansas should expect to encounter bicyclists on all state and local 
roadways except for the Interstate system where bicyclists are prohibited or where 
prohibited by local ordinance. Please be considerate of bicyclists who have rights to 
the roadway. Expect bicyclists to be two feet from the right edge of the roadway or 
curb. When passing a bicyclist use extreme caution and pass four feet to the left of the 
bicyclist.

Thanks for the cut-n-paste job.
