      There are plenty of structural changes that can help.
      Raised crosswalks are a major one.

        I hate those, you have to know where they are. We need to develop some standard way for marking them, so drivers know ahead of time what’s coming. And we have to re-mark them before the paint or whatever fades. We want drivers to have reason to decide for themselves to slow down and be alert for other road users

        This could be a lot more effective than a gimmick like this video, while lasting longer and requiring less maintenance

            Except for the ones not at intersections and of course all the intersections that don’t go that

            For example in the 3.5 mile drive from the grocery to home, I drive through quite a few intersections, but the only raised crosswalk is not at one
