that's an interesting history and example of uninteded consequences 30 years hence, in this case positive unintended consequences in the sense that the pedestrian safety has been built upon with a continiuty of design/traffic rules. Thus the drivers are accustomed to stopping for pedestrians. or is that a conclusion that can not be asserted regarding ped safety in nyc? If traffic rules are changed, like ntor/ror, how long does it take the population of drivers to respond?

I was thinking of this behavioral change that is required from auto drivers regarding bike lanes. A poster had stated that bike lanes create a false sense of security in the bike rider. I think the bike lanes are there to condition auto drivers to be aware there are bikes on the road. the lanes encourage a behavior in drivers just as ntor/ror.
