A Flordia resident recently showed just how dangerous it can be when crossing the road in Florida. Here, they uploaded a video showing their struggle. Although they should have had priority to cross, various cars simply ignored them and continued over the crossing anyway. Had the person filming this video continued into the road, then they’d have been hit by a number of cars that either weren’t looking or simply didn’t care.

This was filmed on SR-54 & US-19 and is what many people now describe as a ‘stroad’ which is a strange mixture of a street and a road that makes it more dangerous for pedestrians to cross due to the speeds of the traveling cars.

If nothing else, this should also show pedestrians to be wary at all times when crossing busy roads. Even though you may legally be in the right to cross – it still doesn’t mean that you always should. This is because as seen in the video, not every car plays by the rules and it only takes one accident to change your life completely.
