For the record I am a daily pedestrian and my close-calls with being hit have gone from never in my life to basically every day

Im getting genuine anxiety about crossing the street now because I keep getting driven into even though it is my pedestrian light. Article is an editorial but I can attest to a ramp up in danger from vehicles, and our pedestrian deaths have skyrocketed from their previous record (15) to 40 and the year isnt even done yet.
