To the Editor:Re “Pedestrians Still in Danger, Despite Drop in Traffic Deaths” (news article, Jan. 2):Pedestrians are a danger to themselves. Jaywalkers appear out of nowhere when they dart into the street between cars and trucks . Many will cross against the light if they see no immediate approaching vehicle — or if they just happen to be in a hurry. Intersections with left-turn signals render many pedestrians clueless that vehicles have the right of way (hint: that’s why the “walk” icon is not lit up). The worst offenders are those who cross streets looking at their phones, including mothers pushing strollers.
