But Chris-

The P&C had been warning for YEARS that a fatality was going to occur
there - that woman was not the only one who was running the red! And running
the red is one thing - but killing  a child who has actually rotten into a
traffic lane on the "walk" sign is a different matter.

It has been noticeable in Sydney for some years that, if you are using a
pedestrian crossing on the "WALK"  you HAVE to wait for traffic to stop in
all of the lanes on your side before you start across. Even many cars that
do stop end up stopped in the middle of the crossing (I sometimes feel like
opening the front door and crawling across the driver just to emphasise the
point)
