Pedestrian Crossing

Why in the streets of Nassau is there no regard for pedestrians. I watch my life nearly flash before my eyes on numerous occasions. I mean literally saw myself from toddler hood to my newly found adulthood trying to cross these crazy streets. Imagine what the tourist must think. Sometimes i feel a little bold and think if i start walking the car will see me and eventually slow down....STUPID ME! I think the cars just go faster. I cannot even fathom what may go through these drivers head when they see human beings crossing the street. They practically try run us over like our very own pot cakes which by the way my heart always goes out to when i see them laying lifeless on the side of the road. Just last week Friday i watched a female security officer get knocked down by Sandals and guess what? The driver didn't even stop. Luckily she wasn't hurt. All she did was sat there and cried but what if? You know that tragic what if situation. I don't know what it will take for us to acknowledge these zebra prints specifically put on our streets.
