Two things I notice, people not paying attention while looking at their phones and the homeless don't give a rip they just walk in the street with no regard to traffic.
I don't remember exactly what grade it was, maybe 1st? But we were actually TAUGHT how to cross a street. Anyone recall the rule? Look left, look right, then look left again. If there are NO cars, it is safe to cross. It was in an old reel-to-reel movie. You know, the kind with the male narrator with a calm voice: "Little Johnny wants to cross the street here. What should he remember?"
Homeless people deliberately coincidentally intentionally being a disruption to traffic or being a potential danger to pedestrians around them. Patterns of behavior. Document the regularity. Conclude the impact and outcomes. And ultimately intention. The cognitive dissonance of having to negotiate human life over human life in these situations is not helpful. The negotiation of personal safety and being prosocial in the Aloha spirit and muting ones sense of situational awareness is exhausting. Hypervigilence in monitoring vehicular movement in the context of surrounding pedestrian, motor bike, skate boarder, momentum is necessary....but utterly fatiguing. Another case where civil rights in the context of causing greater harm to those around them and without regard to the safety of those around them does not hold weight in a case where public opinion matters. Where does the responsibility, liability, duty and neglect lie in the legal conversation of this? Corner of Beretania St. and Pensecola. sitter dangerously at the cross walk and with a sign. That sidewalk is already narrow with low line of site to pedestrians in an of itself. And don't me started on the violations you'll find on the regular regarding ADA federal regulations for ADA access inherently. No. can. dis. kine. God bless HPD and EMS for what they do to hold down some semblence of public safety in light of the daily cluster-f of chaos on the regular.
Always see homeless disregarding traffic signal and just j-walk everywhere!! Also the people who jog/walk on the roads, just drives me nuts... it's illegal!!!
@LonnieBrewer-dd4wi Yes, it is... Several years back, I almost got cited for it and I was walking on the white part of the curb... only because cars were tightly parked on the sidewalk.
In other parts of the world cars have the right away because they can kill people, pedestrians should be watching out for cars at all times I would rather cross a street when there are no cars as opposed to having a bunch of cars slow down for me. We do it ass backwards here.
Been saying this for years, whether it's pedestrians, motorcycles, or bicycles, a car will ALWAYS win. Whoever made it law that pedestrians have right of way is responsible for all these accidents
Distributing, but not surprise. I have seen people in the crosswalk looking at their phone not paying any attention to the traffic, people walking against the light taking their sweet time and holding back traffic that has the green light, people darting across the street and cars running the red light. And this is outside of town. The responsibility of safe is a two way street, both pedestrians and drivers. If people (both pedestrian and driver) cannot follow laws and safety rules and dam plain common sense, well there is nothing to say more.
I’ve had times where I was about to cross when the walk sign was lit and someone makes a turn on to the lane I’m about to walk on to. Had I stepped in the lane a second sooner I know I would’ve been hit. Of course let’s not forget that quite a few pedestrian accidents have also been hit and runs of people speeding, not seeing the pedestrian, etc. Also there seem to be a lot of pedestrians at night walking around in dark clothes and no lights or reflective gear making them hard to see
What causes a pedestrian accident? Distraction! If the pedestrian keeps a line of sight on a car coming he wouldn’t get hit, if the driver kept line of sight on what’s in his lane he wouldn’t be hitting a pedestrian. If one party is distracted the other needs to put full attention and take caution. I’ve been driving for 18 years never crashed because I don’t trust other drivers and pedestrians.
They removed all the crosswalks now they wanna put special crosswalks. Drivers are the problem, need to lose your license for life due to driver infractions. I teach children that bad decisions have consequences. Our roadways promote speeding with poor enforcement. Need to have bus only lanes on freeway at all times to promote mass transit and it needs to be free.
Autos almost never hit someone standing on the sidewalks. People who get hit by an auto walk in front of a moving auto without looking, assuming the driver sees them. They may have the right of way but the auto will win if the driver doesn't see you.
City should install siren like police cars when the pedestrian is on the cross walk and a car tries to make a left or right turn or decides to run the light the siren censor goes off they should install it above the cross walk it’s just my idea
This happens alot in the mainland so I wonder... moved from Hawaii and 1st time in my life I've seen too much cars not watching for pedestrian when I got to mainland
They should consider those temporary construction barriers for the pedestrian/bike protections. In addition to this do drastic road diets like reducing a 7 lane road to a 3 lane road.
The lanes are so big that you could use the space that was used for the lanes for legit housing for the homeless. Who cares about parking if it’s near or a road on the rail line.
Too many drivers try and make a quick dash for it before pedestrians cross with the walk light....pedestrians have the right of way first. This happens often to me at Laie crosswalk below Laie Point and is really scary
Two things I notice, people not paying attention while looking at their phones and the homeless don't give a rip they just walk in the street with no regard to traffic.
Homeless should be moved to mandatory shelters, they are a public safety issue
People need to learn HOW TO CROSS THE STREET. Stupidity is the trend in Hawaii

This isn't a issue of homeless people.

No it's not..
@LonnieBrewer-dd4wi Yes, it is... Several years back, I almost got cited for it and I was walking on the white part of the curb... only because cars were tightly parked on the sidewalk.
@mpireone At least you didn't get cited, if the sidewalk(s) were blocked the police needed to cite the vehicles not the person.
@@LonnieBrewer-dd4wi It still didn't make it alright for me to walk on the road?
never walk in front of a moving car.
They start walking when it starts to go yellow
Another disturbing trend drunk officer blames imagery driver causes crash
I can cross through a 100 mopeds and cars in Manila and not get hit

If you’re not in a crossswalk and cross the street, driver should not be held liable
Cry me a river. Pedestrians should look both ways instead of being on their phones when crossing the street.
Not everyone is on their phones at a crosswalk.
@@LonnieBrewer-dd4wi the ones that do not get hit look around. a cross walk does not have a force field.
Pedestrians need to be more careful. They shouldn't be walking in the street.
Y'all are heartless.
On many occasions i see people passed out in the street. Had to veer around them. Darwin Evolution in action.
I’ve had times where I was about to cross when the walk sign was lit and someone makes a turn on to the lane I’m about to walk on to. Had I stepped in the lane a second sooner I know I would’ve been hit.

Don't be putting more speed bumps!!!

You should be rewarded with lower fees for sure.

Most of the time these people can't even cross the street properly. What about the disturbing trend of too many 4runners and Tacoma's on the road
These comments are extremely troubling...
When its green light for cars its also green light for pedestrians. Both can go head to head.
Yes then I can sue the city because the signal says to Walk.

And Oahu wants to allow people to cross the street anywhere they want 😂

Surge? We've been highest in the Nation for a decade!!!! (pedestrians hit)
Cars are the issue with pedestrians, bicyclists, moped riders, motorcycle riders, smash and grab robberies, road rage, swimming.
Too many drivers try and make a quick dash for it before pedestrians cross with the walk light....pedestrians have the right of way first. This happens often to me at Laie crosswalk below Laie Point and is really scary
Ban pedestrians
@@Islandgirl-p7h It would work.
That was dumb..
ban cars. they think it works for guns ,
@ exactly Lonnie.
If your on wheels your not a pedestrian
Propaganda for speed cameras
If it’s mostly homeless, then these accidents are helping to reduce this population, then. And maybe some of these are not accidents, yeah?
