I've attempted to be a pedestrian in the commercial areas of the Southside and have given it up as a hazardous undertaking. Sometimes you can't even cross the street at a crosswalk with a walk signal because motorists making a right turn on red don't seem to be able to recognize the presence of a pedestrian. Confronted with situations like this, I've often thought it might be safer to jaywalk. Downtown is the only pedestrian friendly area in town, or at least it used to be before the current crackdown.
