that's still car-brained, how fucked is it that kids are supposed to concentrate on crossing the street? that's not how things used to be, kids used to run in front of trams and all it resulted in was a slightly annoyed tram driver!

I dont think its out of order to teach kids to be aware for one of the most dangerous things they will do (crossing a road) for the 20 seconds or so they are doing it.

the fucked up thing is that CROSSING A FUCKING ROAD is one of the most dangerous things they will do, obviously.

Yes it is, but pointing that out doesnt change the fact that it is so and people have to deal with the world as it is not how they would like it to be.
