NYC Fun Fact: More People Are Killed in the Crosswalk than Jaywalking
There’s a new book out about the sociology of driving called Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us) that looks pretty interesting and includes the fun fact cited in the title of this post: more people are killed in crosswalks crossing legally than jaywalking. Looks like it’s worth a read.

i’ve always known intersections are dangerous
