    The driver is legally supposed to stop, and look.

    The problem is they have to accept they have no right of way, and need to check far in both directions, making it potentially dangerous.

    As always, the BEST solution is to just get the pedestrians and cyclists away from the cars with better design, but that isn’t always practical.

    Unfortunately as a pedestrian although you may have the right of way, that doesn’t really matter. Your neighbor is a multi thousand pound metal sled. Never normalize bring near such a machine. I think of it line standing next to a running wood chipper… I’d always be very cautious near that, why not moving cars.
