The old guy across the street owns a Camaro and when he pulls it out of his garage he revs the engine in the middle of the street. He was out doing yard work yesterday and I revved my Outback four banger at him before driving off. Hope he was impressed.

Today while biking to my friend's home, I saw two ads for an app to change car ownership, and just now Instagram showed the same thing. How is that an app? Hope frequently do you sell cars? Also thanks for using my tax dollars on even more car stuff I guess.

https://www.post-gazette.com/news/t...es/202311030074 More than a half-dozen Pittsburgh pedestrians have died in traffic-related incidents so far this year, a number that is already more than double the number of pedestrian fatalities last year and has sparked a desperate plea from the city’s school crossing guards for pedestrians to pay attention. Through October, seven pedestrians have been killed on Pittsburgh streets and two have been critically injured. Three were killed and three were injured critically in all of 2022, according to Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz. “This needs to stop,” said Donna McManus, Pittsburgh’s crossing guard supervisor. “We need to stop thinking that we’re not going to get hit by a car. Fifty-five percent of the vehicle versus pedestrian accidents are caused by pedestrians, and it is so easily fixed.” It ties 2019 for the highest number of pedestrian fatalities in the past six years — with nearly two full months left in 2023.. She said she tries to draw attention to the issues — jaywalking, crossing against the light — when she sees them. Once she was covering a corner in Point Breeze for one of her crossing guards who was shaken up after witnessing an accident. It was still dark the next morning when Ms. McManus was waiting to shepherd a group of school kids across the street once the light changed. “This woman came jogging across the street against the light. As she jogged past me, I said, ‘Hey, you need to wait for the light,’” she recounted. “She yelled, ‘I’m an adult.’” She got a similar sentiment from a woman crossing Mazeroski Way with her young child in tow Thursday ahead of the Steelers game. Ms. McManus shouted for the woman to wait for the light. She said the woman ignored her. “I said, ‘Come on, you have a kid with you,’” she said. The woman responded, she said, with a haughty, “Don’t tell me what to do with my kid.” “That mentality — we have to change behavior,” Ms. McManus said. “We have to do something.” Pedestrians need to look and to listen, she said, and wait for the signal to cross — whether it comes from the walk sign or from a crossing guard. “You cannot walk through the city with your phone like this,” she said, craning her neck downward and holding her hand up to her face. “Take your Air Pods out of your ears so you can hear what’s coming.” It’s not a problem that’s unique to Pittsburgh. Preliminary 2022 data from the Governors Highway Safety Association indicated that around 7,508 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes last year — the highest number of pedestrian deaths since 1981, according to the report from GHSA, a nonprofit representing U.S. states’ safety offices. A major increase has come in just that past decade: from 2010 to 2021, pedestrian fatalities rose 77%, according to the report. All other traffic fatalities rose by about a quarter during that time. Pedestrian deaths went from accounting for about 13% of all traffic deaths to more than 17% in that time. In Pennsylvania, pedestrian deaths were falling in the years before the COVID-19 pandemic — from 201 in 2018 to 154 in 2019 and 146 in 2020. In 2021 that number jumped to 182. Last year 184 pedestrians were killed on Pennsylvania roads, according to PennDOT data. Officials said that was the second-highest total in the past two decades. Through the first eight months of 2023, 109 pedestrians were killed statewide, up slightly from the 105 recorded during the same time period last year. Ms. McManus said she gets requests weekly for crossing guards to be stationed on new corners across the city, but with only 62 crossing guards currently working, it’s just not possible. Choosing a new corner at which to station guards is a process — there is a rubric and scoring that has to be done, and pedestrian and vehicle traffic has to be analyzed. “I can’t put a crossing guard on a corner for one kid. I’d love to,” she said. Most recently, Ms. McManus stationed a guard at a new intersection in the city’s Northview Heights neighborhood. Public safety evaluated the intersection last year, she said, but she didn’t have enough people to staff that corner until this year. Some 150 kids cross there each day, she said. The crossing guard shortage, too, isn’t unique to Pittsburgh. In Camp Hill in Cumberland County, officials had trouble filling just the eight crossing guard posts they had throughout the borough. They hadn’t been able to fill all the positions in 2022, and only two agreed to come back in 2023, CBS21 reported over the summer. Borough council ultimately raised the pay to $20 an hour in an effort to entice more applicants. They also hired a company to help with recruitment. In Memphis, Tenn., the city was short more than 90 crossing guards, according to a Fox 13 report last month. The shortage was magnified after a 12-year-old girl was struck and injured leaving her middle school for the day. Crossing guards end their afternoon shifts around 3:30 p.m., the TV station reported — about 15 minutes after school lets out for the day. It’s also not a new problem. Pittsburgh has budgeted for the same number next year — 75 full-time crossing guards, one supervisor, and one assistant supervisor. The hourly rate for crossing guards is tentatively set to increase from $15.91 an hour to $16.39. The number of guards the city budgeted for has been declining for years, dropping from 104 in 2018 to the 75 in the current budget. The city did not staff a full complement of crossing guards during that time even as the number of positions fell. Even still, Ms. McManus said, they averaged around 80-90 crossing guards pre-pandemic. In years past, if there were a particularly busy crossing that guards weren’t able to cover, Ms. McManus would ask Pittsburgh police to step in. “They’re as short-staffed as we are,” she said. “I can’t ask police to cover something. They have enough to worry about. We’re pretty much on our own when it comes to figuring out the best possible solutions.” All of this has culminated in a new campaign by the city’s Public Safety Department called “Wait 4 the Walk.” It’s an effort to get pedestrians to cross the street properly — not just children, but adults, too. “Here’s what you have to think about when you [jaywalk or cross against the light]: Who’s watching you?” she said. “There are children on school buses, there are children on PRT buses, there are other adults watching. We need to do a better job as adults in modeling safe behavior when crossing the street.” When crossing guards catch pedestrians doing it right — adult or child — they’ll give out a “Wait 4 the Walk” sticker. She said crossing guards are trying to capitalize on sticker collecting and the current “sticker infatuation.” “It’s about positive reinforcement of modeling safe behavior when you’re crossing the road,” she said. “I want to keep people alive.”

Are there any data about whether it is safer to cross during the "walk" signal or to carefully look for an opening in car traffic and cross without regard for the signal? I hypothesize that waiting for the signal to cross is often more dangerous. It urges you to cross during a short period of time whether or not it is safe, and it gives you the false sense that cars won't run you over. I have had some close calls crossing legally during the walk signal because turning cars drove though the crosswalk without yielding to pedestrians.
