As both a bicyclist and pedistrian I have come within inches of being hit in crosswalks and driveways where cars cross the sidewalk in front of pedistrians or bicyclists. i witnessed a father with his toddler almost run over in a cross walk two days ago. I have walked daily to and from work for over 8 months and my observations are that people are in too big a hurry. The cell phone doesn't help, but is just a symptom they do not have the time to pull over and take a call. Many drivers still holding cell phone despite handsfree law.
