Yup, I'd never seen anything like it till I lived in the city for a while. About 10 years ago, a young mother and her baby were struck by a car and killed (this was in Buffalo.) The media spent days deploring the condition of city curbs and crosswalks and oh dear, oh dear, what can we do?
They never once mentioned that she'd been walking in the street on a dark, rainy night. You can't fix stupid.
We were in Philly one day and people just walked right in front of our car without even looking. I could easily have killed five people that day.
