I've always thought that it was inattentive drivers turning right who were the greatest danger to pedestrians crossing at the intersection, but I'm starting to wonder if the inattentive left-turner isn't equally dangerous, or even more dangerous given that they may be moving at a higher speed. For pedestrians, at least you can try to make eye contact with the right-turner. That's more of a challenge with traffic turning left (if you are even facing the turner).
