I guess there's a lot of that rain business going on.
Yes, most drivers are careful, but I can see how easy it would be not to be careful, especially going at high speeds. It's just one of the hazards of being a pedestrian. It's a smaller annoyance than others - like bicycles on sidewalks. Don't get me wrong, I approve of bicycles, but I don't think they belond where the pedestrians are. (More bike lanes! Special bike paths! That's what we need. And I realize that Ottawa probably has more and better bike lanes and bike paths than any other city in the continent.)
