Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[jeffster]

Case in point, people willingly stop and wait patiently for geese--a truely vile animal---to cross the road, but in the middle of a public park refuse to stop at the PXO for actual human beings in a park.

The difference is geese aren't intimidated by drivers refusing to yield to them. You can intimidate a pedestrian into not crossing by refusing to stop, but a goose doesn't give a shit and will happily walk out and fuck up your vehicle. People literally have more respect for geese than other humans.

Something that perhaps people don't know about these geese is that they will actually move if you get close, and they move fast. In fact, I'd argue that they are more intimidated by drivers than people that jay-walk.

Duckings, on the other hand, I have no idea.
