Not sure how neither one saw the other. Can’t really tell if the person looked before crossing. Even if there’s a stop sign and you’re in the crosswalk, always look before crossing. When I was at URI, the people driving on campus were always distracted and the kids seemed to frequently cross the road without looking both ways first. Hope the person is ok

As a pedestrian walking on campus, I usually wait until a vehicle has stopped at the stop sign. I can’t really control if someone decides to just start moving again once I am in the crosswalk

That’s a good thing to do, but you still need to be alert at all times. When I used to drive around campus, the amount of students who used to walk out into the crosswalk without looking first was crazy. My friend used to say “I don’t care, they need to stop.” Which is true, but you can never be too careful. I never hit anyone or got hit so I guess it worked for me lol
