Road design, safety and Vision Zero

If that was the case, then the charge laid is incorrect.

It should be failure to cross AT a nearby crossing.

Failure to yield at a crossover suggests they were AT the crossover.

Honestly, the police have some splainin to do here.

When I am out and driving, I have stopped at a green light more times than I can count, because of a pedestrian crossing against a red light. It's a daily occurrence. I am guessing in this case, either the police witnessed the collision, or the tow operator had a dash cam.

Possibly too, the tow operator had an advanced green, and the pedestrian ignored the "Don't Walk" pedestrian signal. Again, this occurs all the time.

Except this isn't a traffic light, this is a roundabout.

Obviously this would be far more reasonable and understandable if it was a traffic signal.
