Texas governor calls for removal of rainbow crosswalks, calling them a safety issue

Reply in thread

I think something people might be missing here with painting the crosswalk is that paint can make the crosswalk much more visible. Streets murals, and crosswalk paint can cause drivers to slow down. Going further paint can be used to create an optical narrowing effect which causes drivers to subconsciously be more cautious and thus slow down. Slower speeds makes streets safer which directly saves lives. It's not just political, it's proven - Look up daylighting and optical narrowing.
