Ontario is terrible for pedestrian respect. In BC, where I once lived, you step on the crosswalk and cars must immediately come to a full stop, both directions, or risk a massive ticket. That is the way it should be here.

Try crossing the road at Hyde Park Rd. and Coronation. I spent 15 minutes there the other day with my son, trying to get to the park on the other side. Imfuckingpossible. Had to walk all the way to Gainsborough to cross, then walk back down.

London is carland.

Again it depends on the situation, a lower traffic roundabout is perfectly fine for pedestrians. Certainly higher volume traffic areas need special attention, in which signals are implemented and or an overpass for people to avoid traffic.
