\n“Even Polly Trottenberg told pedestrians \u201cwe all have a role to play\u201d in making our streets safer, a comment she had to walk back. None of these things are what Vision Zero is about. But when the message is that everyone is in it together, those who are inclined to discount the awesome responsibility that comes with operating a multi-ton vehicle might think it\u2019s awfully unfair that pedestrians who cross against a signal or who walk into the street with their eyes buried in a smartphone \u2014 even with the legal right of way \u2014 aren\u2019t doing their part. \u201cCome on, buddy! Take out the earbuds and pay attention! Be part of the solution, not the problem!\u201d”<\/p>\n
