Funny thing. I saw this done in Florida. And been toiling on how to present this to the mayor to have it implemented in places with no lights

Bad idea for us. When you carry a red flag in front of a bull they try to run you over.

The red isn’t the reason as bulls are color blind.

I agree with the sentiment. However, I don’t see this as a serious solution.

Yes! If you do something that promotes safety and you end up saving someone’s life whether you know it or not you just saved a world!

I agree look left and right before crossing a lot of people do not bother they just cross over to the other side you are responsible for your own safety start realizing it just because the law states pedestrians have the right of way it does not entitle you t0 just cross without looking to make sure its safe to cross as far as the red flag goes its not necessary if you start using common sense

Well, if some of you might remember, the police handed out many reflective belts for people to wear at night so drivers could see them. Do you see people wearing them at night? And so it would be with the flags. And don’t forget- Cross at the green, not in between.
