Looks like America. How about instead you attach day-glo orange blunderbusses so you can shoot drivers who attempt to murder you with their cars. Deadly weapon to defend against deadly weapon seems fair.
Carrying a flag is a stupid way to pass the buck. The Italian thing to do is wave your arms around and begin shouting ''MAMMA MIA I AM GOING TO A CROSS THE ROAD!!''
I also hate seeing the Danish flag
I mean, it sort of is. It sucks, but having the legal right of way doesn't guarantee that you will walk away uninjured. Pedestrians absolutely need to stay alert and protect themselves from horrible drivers and the death machines that they are barely in control of.

The world should be a better place, but it doesn't help us if we plug our ears and act the way we would if it was already that better place.
Replace flags with bricks.
Carry a brick instead!
"We didn't want to (or couldn't afford to) install proper crossing indicators so grab one of these dollar-store flags and hope for the best. Injury or loss of your life is entirely the responsibility of the pedestrian."
Yes, exactly.
As the kids used to say:
Replace it with retroreflective bricks for added effectiveness!
As someone who loves driving, I want much better pedestrian infrastructure everywhere, but especially in the US.
The better the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, the safer both driving and walking gets.
I am a Swede, I live in a municipality with one of the lowest tax rates here, but I would gladly increase it, a year or two ago there was national news that families had to move from this municipality as their kids was not given the legally mandated assistance in school. As someone who needed and got special help in school when I grew up, and now is a well functioning adult who contributes to society, I want the students of today to have the same or better help than I got, and frankly it is fucking embarrassing that the local school can't provide the legally mandated assistance.
I feel the same way here, this is fucking embarrassing, any sane mayor would be ashamed of themselves when seeing this in their jurisdiction, as should anyone living in the area while demanding lower taxes.
If conservatives had shame about reasonable things, a lot of problems would go away.
