It is not a silly remark.I didn't have to think to hard about something that is 100%correct and where did i say pedestrians have no right to
cross roads.A pedestrian might have a right to cross a road and a vehicle also has a right to use the road , so what I am saying in a round-a-bout way that your not capable of interpreting is that a pedestrian must show caution, I do expect you to understand that a pedestrian can come to a full stop in one step , I was taught by my parents to look right and left and right again and give way and wait for cars,when the stupid rule of giving pedestrians right of way that's when people started getting killed more often, there should be no such thing as an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing.In Mt Isa this is what they are doing and it works every where else in the Town ,See that makes a pedestrian be more aware of the danger instead of just walking out onto the and hope the car/truck/roadtrain stops,and don't say it does not happen, I had a silly woman in
Sydney walk out in front of my semi and she did not even look and i had a hell of time trying to stop but if I had hit her i would have been the one in trouble so mate I would strongly suggest you wake up to your self and come down into the real world.

CARS will have the right of way over pedestrians when the zebra crossing on Simpson Street is scrapped.
It will be replaced by a crossing identical to those in the central business district where traffic comes before people.
Details of the Simpson Street north redevelopment preliminary plan were announced at a council meeting last week.
Council approved the plan which allowed for the final construction design to go ahead.
