San Francisco drivers have become downright defiant when it comes to pedestrian safety...It seems most drivers won't stop for anyone but will they stop for a police officer in full uniform? The answer may suprise you.

  • Wow, I didn't realize how serious this problem is until viewing this video. These drivers shown in the video are oblivious to what goes around them and even, in front of them. I applaud the SFPD for taking such measure to crack down on defiant drivers who are risking other people's lives by engaging in dangerous driving habits. I also make a commitment not to speed and to respect other people's existence and dignity.

  • Just another reason why I don't drive on Geary. Plus, it's really tough trying to stop on Geary for pedestrians, when drivers behind you want to give you the finger and the horn.

  • Everyone on this planet does this, just hope they're not doing a sting near you.

  • @hockeyken10 The city can't afford it their's to many side walks and it would take months for installation.

  • @dedokta They have to give way to pedestrians who are crossing the road there... It's a poorly marked crossing though, and in an illogical place... it should have crossing signals. I'm surprised they don't get jaywalking tickets for crossing there, the US is very car-centric usually...

  • Simple rule: whenever there is an intersection, just slow down a few miles per hour (like from 25 to 20) to check to make sure if its safe to cross..even if there is a stop sign in the intersection because some drivers dont know what they are doing

  • There should be flashing yellow markers in the road that is commanded by a walking pedestrian trying to cross the street.

  • @gnrands50 Just an instance of drivers being stupid in general sadly.

  • It isnt very wise to put a simple cross walk on a road like that, it needs a traffic signal or a pedestrian bridge.

    But the city probably makes too much money in fines to care.

  • @Akit317 That is the true problem. If you stop, you create a disturbance on the road. They should just put in lights with long timers

  • A big problem I see as a transit bus driver is cars passing me at full speed when I am stopped for a pedestrian. The ped and the driver can't see each other because of my bus, and frequent close calls result. It is very important to slow and pass with caution any stopped vehicle, whether at a cross walk or not.

  • In Australia we have Pedestrian Crossings that are marked by wide striped lines. There are also zig zag lines as you approach a pedestrian crossing. Can someone explain what the law being broken is in this video?
