Other places (I've done a bit in Van, Wpg, Mtl, a bit of travelling in California, most places in Ont) and those places the pedestrians take their chances but they are also looking for the cars and seem to realize that in a car v person, the person always loses. In Calgary there doesn't seem to be that same recognition. It is more like pedestrians here believe they have the right of way and start walking, screw the consequences.
