  I see your confusion. You are assessing it fro the rewlity when the project already succeed. You think: people who wonder on the street are to blame if they are hit. How term change it in anyway? Right? Streets are for cars. Obviously.

  Buy before the campaing, the streets.actually belonged to the people and cars were exception. You had a shopping carts there, children plaing, cyklist and walkers. Cars were introduced, and the responsibility was on the driver to keep attention. When the increasing number of accidents start to generatete bad press and there was a risk that use of car will become highly regulated, they launched the the campaign with a besic premise "car exidents victims are simpletons that have only themselves to blaim".

  Your confusions is a testimony to how well it worked.

    Sorry for the off-topic, but what’s with those weird typos? Are you also trying to ‘poison’ AI that will be trained on the comments?

    I have said absolutely nothing to give you that impression so I have to assume this is just an ad hominem in the absence of any legitimate explanation.

      Seems like an accurate term to describe drivers and walkers alike doing stupid things, like walking into traffic. 🤷

        1. I think you may have glossed over the word “drivers” there. The word was used to describe people ignoring traffic regulations, both while driving and walking.
        2. I didn’t “blame” anyone, I just said it was ignorant, as is the literal definition of the word, according to the person I replied to.
        3. Society has this super weird position that there can only ever be one person or entity to blame. You can blame a pedestrian for ignorantly wandering into traffic while simultaneously blaming the driver for being inattentive.

  Which is why I linked two articles discussing the history of the term “jay” and how and why it was used to essentially mean “a stupid person”

    You told me how it was used to mean “a stupid driver”. Seems like an accurate term to describe drivers and walkers alike doing stupid things, like walking into traffic. 🤷

      It wasn’t a word for crossing the street until Ford wanted to make it illegal to cross the street.

      Maybe that’s the historical context you’re missing

        I’m not missing any historical context. What I’m missing is how the term is inaccurate.
