    It’s not very nice but it helps keep me alive.

    I think it’s important to keep in mind that the dominant traffic control structure in the US is the stoplight, which relies heavily on “mutually assured destruction” to work. So that’s in everyone’s head when driving around: “I stop because I don’t want to get hurt.” To me, it’s pretty clear that escalation to vehicular damage is the only thing that makes sense for pedestrians in such an environment. Yeah, it’s not nice, but so is the rest of the game.
