I'm tellin' ya, half the pedestrians in Bangor would be DOA in any major city on the east coast. They brazenly walk in front of oncoming traffic without looking in either direction and think they're in some magic protective zone.
Painted marks on the street may work on cattle, but stopping a 4,000 lb vehicle on a dime...
You think the pedestrians are bad, try to enter a rotary around here. They are taught in drivers ed to treat it like an intersection.
They have absolutely no understanding of the concept of "merge".
