I never cease to be surprised just how few pedestrians heed traffic signals.
This has just been thru news here in Australia. 'POLICE are warning tech-savvy school students to unplug, log off and look out, amid a surge in pedestrian deaths in Victoria.' More: http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26166073-15306,00.html
We seem to lose one person per year around here around the college campuses. I remember first getting to campus as a kid and surprised how confident so many people felt just crossing the street anywhere at any time even though there were crosswalks every 100'.
