Most pedestrians can hear cars making noise through earbuds. I always find these compilations of inattentive pedestrians a fascinating insight into the psychology of most drivers. In most jurisdictions the pedestrians have the legal right of way in the crosswalk, but drivers are mad that they are inattentive. The people with the legal responsibility, in a giant soundproof box, with a built in stereo and built in sight line obstructions are mad that the people without those things aren’t paying enough attention.
