AlexB, that really isn't as absolute as you suggest.

You can never empirically state that "pedestrians" aren't to blame any more than you can say that "cars/drivers" are to blame. In an environment like DC where you have all modes of transit operating w/in the same environment, drivers, pedestrians and cyclists will share blame.

You can't just make blocking the box a "driver" problem excusing all other factors we know are common in all mixed modes environments. With the number of pedestrians whom are completely oblivious to cars (or bikes for that matter) and will walk out of turn across the street while looking 100% of the way down at their androids...and those who follow those who do so simply because they felt the person in front of them move.

You just can't. It's akin to saying that automobile/pedestrians accidents happen only because drivers aren't paying attention.
