What on earth prompts people to just blithely cross roads without looking? Especially in the centre of Melbourne?
 
Yeah, OK, I did it myself in Canberra once, on Northborne, but that was one incident of idle brainlessness, and though there have been many such incidents since, thankfully none have involved major roads.
 
And also, yeah, OK, I am a gung-ho J-walker with road-crossing temerity to make Jen tremble (but she's a big softie) and I'm known to brave the displeasure of the flashing red man with flippant regularity, but I don't start sauntering across Lonsdale (seven lanes, no island in the middle) while the light is going amber.
 
I watched in bewilderment as not only did the idiot woman in question not run the rest of the way, she also didn't get beeped at. And she wasn't that much of a looker.
 
And then I waited patiently for the little green man to say strut.
