Pedestrians know this instinctively but to see it laid out in a graph is a gut punch.

At 20 mph, 3 out of every 4 drivers (75%) yield to a pedestrian in the basic crosswalk.
At just 30 mph, that rate drops to 1 in 8 drivers (12%).

Above 35 mph drivers don't care: basic or high visibility crosswalk: they don't stop.

I called this would happen months ago - states are moving towards outright elimination.

Oklahoma Could Force Trans People Under 26 Years Old To Detransition Medically

A new bill has been filed in Oklahoma that would ban gender affirming care under age 26. Republican states are moving towards banning transition entirely.

It’s never not going to be funny that after years of hype about crypto-metaverse-subscriptions disrupting web2 incumbents, the backstop to Twitter’s sudden implosion was volunteers recreating Usenet with RSS.
