London Buses are Good

Don't start with pedestrians--start with HGV/car drivers. They have the greatest responsibilities.

That's the kind of attitude which encourages pedestrians (and too many cyclists) to neglect their own responsibility. I suppose it makes a change from the attitude which informs most classical traffic engineering, an attitude which seeks to eliminate personal responsibility by separating vulnerable users into their own cotton wool lined ghettoes, but it misses the point by just as much.
