.... but in quite a few places back East, cars don't stop just 'cause
some ped traipsed out into the street, yet the peds don't get hit and
the traffic doesn't stall.

I hear when Californicators go back East, it's funny to see them nearly
get mowed down when they foolishly think other states have passed laws
that are blind to the laws of physics (and expect drivers to stop for
them just 'cause they're about to venture out into the street).
