Have there been any studies on the extent to which people rely on hearing as opposed to vision when deciding on whether it's safe to cross the road? I'm continuously flabbergasted by the sheer frequency of times pedestrians have stepped into the road without looking, or step into the road and then take a glance, when I'm on the bike, but it appears to happen a lot less when I'm driving a car. (Gah, how complicated; I belong to two different tribes!)
