Carson, Thank You. Very Well Stated.
That is a 2 Way Responsibility: By both Drivers and Pedestrians.

I do not have a suggestion of how to frame it but, driver attitudes are
the issue. Signs are are only as good as they are being followed.
Infrastructure is only as good as its ability to force compliance.

Hello Kim, John, Lee !!!
The Editorial *Link* below is in today's " Bangor Daily News. " An
ironic Paradox...
Just today, at the Upgraded 4 Way Traffic Signal Controlled Intersection
at Bridge and Cumberland Streets,
for example, two observations:
1. On the slight downhill side of Bridge Street, facing Severino's Store,
a Driver was waiting for the Green Light, well beyond the Painted White
STOP Bar.
2. The Driver behind that first Vehicle, turned RIGHT up Cumberland
Street, on the RED Light, despite the new LARGE Post mounted Sign:
NO RIGHT TURN
ON RED
LIGHT
What has happened to Driver Responsibility ? Pedestrians are on their
Own, in spite of new Signage, new Pedestrian Activated Marked Crosswalk
Controls.
