Is it? I think we just need to get over the fact that pedestrians can be annoying (and I do acknowledge that they can be). It's only because we're used to the domination of our public space by cars that we think people should go about their business in a permanent state of vigilance, and defer to people who threaten their lives with anti-social forms of transport. Why shouldn't people wander about aimlessly, eating ice creams, chatting, and thinking about sex, Home and Away and whats-for-dinner? Pedestrians deserve top spot in the hierarchy, and we should aim to be their friends and allies.
I could kill those people with extending dog-leads, though...
