Nobody pays attention anymore. Drivers are looking at their phones or the in dash touchscreen, not the road, pedestrians think that right of way laws override the laws of physics so they just walk into the street without looking. Combined with a near total lack of road law enforcement, it's a recipe for disaster.

If you're walking on an unlit street at night, try wearing bright or preferably reflective clothing. I see way too many pedestrians wearing all black or dark colors, and they're not easy to see at night until you get extremely close. Leash your damn dogs too, stop letting them wander in traffic while you walk.
