I do agree that pedestrians must be responsible but it's difficult when these pedestrians are 5 year old ones !! I'm teaching my kids to check before crossing and I usually hold their hands (the youngest one anyway) but sometimes they just "escape" and run !!! my youngest just does this sometimes and has crossed the road running and without looking once in front of me, there was nothing I could do , fortunately there was no car !It's at that time of the day that most 5 year old get killed ! being cautious on your bike when near a school or when people are getting off the bus is just common sense.
