A pedestrian standing at the curb waiting for the light to change is stationary. Just like, don’t take that extra step before you stop, and you’ll get exactly where you need to be at the exact same time.
Traffic on the other hand is thousands upon thousands of pounds moving is several directions all at once. The margin of error that might out a mirror or side of a high cube chassis over the curb is way tighter than a pedestrian not being a dummy.
It’s like the simplest thing in the world someone can do to improve safety yet they stand right where the road meets the sidewalk like it’s the start line at an Olympic sprint.
