To think cars just don’t stop for pedestrians like they used to?

There’s a busy road near my house. No pelican crossing but zebra crossing in place on both sides of the road which has a little island bit in the middle.

Used to be able to cross just fine!!! Now it’s a neverending battle to get across and end up waiting in the middle bit like a dork for minutes as no car will let me across! It’s never stop/start either as I could just go across then but always just car after car flying down the road and barely anyone stops any more.

I’ve noticed it in other areas too, like people seem to not say thank you when you hold the door open, they barge past without saying excuse me.

is it just me or are people just generally getting ruder? It took me EIGHT minutes to cross the road this morning as no one would bloody stop!!

We have to cross a similar crossing every day for the school run and it's terrible, some even speed up to get passed before you step out and it terrifies me when it's all.young children crossing. Sometimes you can tell they are determined to look as though they haven't seen you. Add into that the awful parking blocking the gates and paths, electric scooters and mobility scooters and the school run is very challenging
