How far are we from a future where pedestrians and automobiles can live together peacefully? Living here in the Tri-Cities we really have a bad habit of not looking out for foot traffic. I am to blame as well. I don't give a second thought to the fact that someone maybe heading into a cross walk, or walking on the sidewalk as I am about to pull out from a parking lot into traffic. It would be a terrible thing to hit a human with your your car. I am also amazed when I head to Seattle and spend time downtown on a busy workday. Walking the streets with huge numbers of pedestrians all plowing right into the street as soon as the WALK light comes on. Especially since the traffic seems to go from 0 to 60 within on block. Anywho... I thought this article had some clever ideas about the future of commuting whether it be on foot or in a automobile.
