Increasing Danger to Pedestrians

Recently, I read an article about a young woman who was going for a run during the day time on a road that wasn't terribly busy when she was struck and killed by a motorist who simply wasn't paying attention. It struck a chord with me because as a self proclaimed runner, I have had my share of recent mishaps with drivers on the road "during the day" in which had I not been the more vigilant person, I may have wound up in the hospital with a serious injury.
Since living in North Carolina and attending a local university on a running scholarship, I have been able to witness not only the huge population growth that has taken place over the last few years, but also the increasing amount of people behind the wheel of cars who simply are not paying attention while they are driving. I remember going for a run once while I was in college. There was a group of us running on the street (or sidewalk rather) when the light turned green, indicating that we had the right of way to cross the street safely. Most of the cars had yielded to let us cross, but then a woman who had been sitting at the light and was waiting to make a turn had only been looking in one direction. She didn't realize that there was a 'no turn on red' sign in front of her; and to top it off, she was on her cell phone. She quickly stepped on the gas in an effort to escape traffic that was already stopped at a red light, and in doing so, she almost ran one of my teammates over. However, because my teammate had quick responses, she was able to jump up onto the woman's car hood while the rest of us ran into each other as we tried to stop ourselves before hitting her car.
