Why is it that when a vehicle strikes a pedestrian it is always the evil vehicles fault for driving badly and or too fast? I have driven a lot and the things I've seen pedestrians of all ages do are absolutely mind boggling. Sometimes it seems they are daring the car to hit them. The so called green wave does allow for a quick flow of traffic through our city that's not a bad thing. If you want to cross the street wait a minute! After the green wave there is a red wave and voila no traffic and its safe to cross the road. Getting rid of the "green wave" will result in more racing from light to light trying catch the next green light. We all teach our little kids to cross the the street safely and it seems that as adults a lot of us forget. Do you really think reducing the "green wave" to 32 KPH will make this city a better place? Accidents happen. There is nothing we can do to change that. If people cross the street without jaywalking the accident rate between cars and people will decrease! We have rules of the road that can and do work really well when everybody follows them. To many of us do not.
