Las Vegas has had three fatal pedestrian accidents in the last 3 days. You would think that would open doors for people and they would be more cautious and actually have some common sense. The first accident involved three little girls who indeed were using the crosswalk resulting in one death, one in critical condition and the other I think had some minor wounds but she is out of the hospital. The second one was jaywalking and was hit by a drunk driver=death. The third one was 2 people jaywalking and one ended up dying on the scene.
Seriously, how are you gonna jaywalk on a busy ass street when it's pitch black out? That's just plain stupid and insane. If you can't walk a few other feet to a crosswalk that is there for your safety then don't walk out of your house. I've had a few close calls with pedestrians and it makes me mad thinking about what the outcome could be when they would be at fault.
The majority of the roads in Vegas are always insanely busy. There is never a slow time to jaywalk, let alone it's illegal. It's like a constant rush hour. Some streets aren't fully lit but I really shouldn't have to drive 5 MPH for a 15 mile drive just to be aware that pedestrians may run out at any time. Maybe I need to just delete my News app because it's starting to piss me off at how many dumb people there are that are getting hit.
Another thing is parking lots. People will just walk out in front of any moving car when they please. Wtf
1. use crosswalks. don't jaywalk like an idiot.
2. don't be wearing dark colors and expect me to see you when you're walking in front of my car at night and then look at me like WTF crazy lady.
3. watch your kids and don't be letting them run like crazy
4. make sure your bike has reflectors.
5. use crosswalks. ( wait I said this already but some idiots still don't understand)
