Thats why Jaywalking is so common here in America. Even when you are given the signal to go, normally you can’t act on it, so its honestly safer to Jaywalk.
oh i just ignore walking signals usually
signals dont keep you safe, using your brain and senses keeps you safe.
I guess it depends on where you are. Where I live, a Walk signal means that it's safe to walk.
@@DDBurnett1 no it doesnt. it means it 'should' be safe to walk. but if you blindly cross just because the light says 'its safe' then one day when the drunk driver just happens to be blowing through that intersection then you will realize that safety can never be guaranteed by lights, only by brains that work.
@@DDBurnett1 People can still turn on red lights and most people do it without looking at pedestrians.
In regards to the Soviet Union, even though Christmas is very much a Christian holiday, they still celebrated the festivities, but never called it Christmas but rather just New Year's festivities. Christmas trees were banned (as they called them a bourgeois German import) until 1935 when they became New Year's trees! Labeling them as New Year's rather than Christmas was meant to unify the children throughout the USSR, including the Central Asian ethnic groups who are not Christians. That's why if you look up online, you can hear the Red Army Choir singing Christmas songs like Jingle Bells.
A prison of nations (Yes that also includes Russian people, Ukraine supporters)
As a central Asian ethnic group we celebrated new years eve
I don't remember if the Christmas trees existed before the dissolution of soviet union though
Christmas trees come from Pagan traditions.
@@markusklyver6277 Read the dang comment. Their beef with Christmas trees is unrelated to the Christianity part of Christmas.
Thank you Kim, very cool!

The south has far fewer sidewalks for pedestrians , and cross walks are nearly nonexistent
I’m obviously in your old state and I’m glad we have sidewalks and crosswalks.
@@TheAmericanCatholic where at? I spent 25 years in Flint
I just had to move from ohio to South Carolina and I drive past a high school on my way home from work and probably about a quarter of the kids walk across the road instead of the crosswalk a quarter mile away
The south can’t afford sidewalks and crosswalks. Although my tiny Alabama town put a sidewalk on the side of the street by the middle school, and a crosswalk at an intersection next to the school.
Lol, the correlation between pedestrian mortality and the Bible belt, I went "I guess you are more likely to pray not to be run over if you are more likely to be run over" and Toycat went in the other direction xD
I am pretty sure it's also where some of the heaviest drinking of alcohol occurs.
Also doesn't help that most American cities are super car centric
@@arcticlaw9198 that applies more in the south too. like since many of the southern cities are growing at staggering rate, their infrastructure have to keep up with the growth. and well, sidewalks take the backseat than pipes, electrical grids and road pavement. so often times outside the older parts of the town, the pedestrian amenities are subpar if not lacking
@@loganpeters7543 no the heaviest drinking states are almost all the northern great plains and mountain west and a few new england states.

The real reason thqt the states highlighted have the highest pedestrian fatalities is that they are the states who have the highest concentration of poor public transportation/pedestrian frendly infrastructure and population density. So lots of people can get hit by cars in Atlanta or Jacksonville when they can't find Dedicated Grade Seperated transportation and try to walk or bike somewhere.
As I learned in driver’s ed at San Mateo (Calif.) High School, “In California, the pedestrian is king.” That is, the motor vehicle code gives the right of way to pedestrians, not motorists. I’m not sure it is still true, but I imagine there are generations of Californians who still count on it being true whenever they step off a curb.
I love this channel very much. The bubble cam really sells it for me.
I'm still a fan of the floating head great shirt Andrew on a greenscreen...
unwalkable cities is a HUGE problem in america, probably the biggest problem imo
Lol no
Not the biggest problem but it is the only type of traffic death to increase
It is a huge problem. Inefficient cities are the root of so many issues. If only the San Francisco Bay Area were more walkable and allowed for housing to be built, it's estimated 1 trillion would be added to the annual GDP for the US
@@drfm16 Boomera have a collective psychosis
I think the fact that the way America (and not just America, but basically every first world nation) exists is completely unsustainable environmentally and is dependent on plundering the global south is the biggest issue.
Considering it's a planetary extinction type of problem.
Unwalkable cities do factor into that a bit though.
As a southerner from Louisiana, the reason why the Bible Belt is the most dangerous for pedestrians is because it’s a complete shit hole. Don’t go there. That’s why I moved to Indianapolis after I graduated
I live in California, and when I started driving two months ago, I noticed really quickly that lights can still be green when pedestrians see the little bright walking man symbol. I think it would be fairly easy to program the two systems to communicate to one another, causing a red light upon the request by the pedestrian to cross the road. I hope this happens.
come to the netherlands!
Will never happen in California you politicians are too bizzy stealing all your money.
1:42 More than just Orange County. That's also Los Angeles County, Inyo County, San Bernardino County, and Ventura County. The borders are weird because as the maps state, they're media markets. In that case, that is the Los Angeles-centric media market. Or in my case, I'm in the NYC-centric media market. It's like how the BBC has different localized channels and radio for different regions of the UK like BBC Midlands, BBC London, BBC Wales, BBC North West, and BBC Scotland.
As for why the South is so dangerous for pedestrians, it's quite simply that the infrastructure is extremely car-oriented when compared to places in the Northeast like Boston or the NYC metro. Try getting from place to place with convenient, reliable transit in the Southeast compared to the Northeast and I can guarantee it'll be much more difficult in the South.
also it was built up later so the roads end up being less friendly to pedestrians because of mid-20th century planning ideas
Was just gonna comment this haha. First thing that caught my eyes was that Egypt-esqe shape
And if you're on the west coast you can just forget ever thinking about public transportation, unless you're in Portland or San Francisco.
Many people retire to the south for warmer weather.
Yes, that's the LA media market, or most of it as Riverside County should also have been included in that.

Here’s an idea about the Bible Belt: the South’s huge economic expansion occurred In the post Jim Crow era of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and before that was mostly rural.
This means that the main development of the south has almost all occurred in the age of huge car centric suburban development, while northeastern states, the Midwest and the west coast has pre-car development communities as well from its earlier times of expansion.
And like the west west in Wyoming, how can cars crash when there’s so few people anyway?
My guess for the correlation with pedestrian fatalities is that in the south, it's a lot warmer for more of the year, so more people will be out walking around than in the northern states. More pedestrians, more fatalities.
Shh. Don't bring actual rational thought to the table, that's not how internet propaganda works.
This doesn't really track in major cities though. I live in one of the coldest cities in the country and absolutely no temperatures stop us from walking if we need to.
Specification as an Israeli: You can't normally actually *get* married in Israel as a gay couple, but they recognise gay marriages that occured outside the country (also you can get married if you find a Rabbi who agrees to do the marriage)
Pedestrian death is equivalent to the amount of time people are out walking on the street. Southern states have warmer weather; therefore, more opportunity to walk around
"Pluto is such a long country"
Chile is offended
The south is over reliant on cars. Those are all states heavily influenced by oil, which lobbies for cars, cars, and more cars. Houston is the least pedestrian friendly city in the US. There's also a laissez-faire attitude by state governments in the south. They feel that it is not their obligation to improve infrastructure. Private businesses should do that. That results in private businesses putting off general improvements and upkeep because that hurts their bottom line. The Houston power crisis was a perfect example of that.
Or, you know, it's because our culture is to run across busy roads.
In regards to the bible belt vs. dangerous for pedestrians, most southern states and sun belt states in general (why the danger for pedestrian map extends to the west) tend to have large sprawling cities and areas that are car-dependent, so naturally those areas will be more dangerous for the pedestrian.
there's also higher than average alcoholism in the south.
It was made to be that way, don’t blame nature.
It's also warmer for longer during the year, which would naturally lead to more deaths as more people are outside for more time.
@@augustanxv414 Don't get us started on the sheer humidity that comes with the heat, it's enough to drown a catfish.
Cities in the southern half of the US (also called the sun belt) are likely much more dangerous for pedestrians because the cities grew the most after the proliferation of cars and the construction of the interstate highway system, so they are designed to be much more car-centric than the older cities in the north. This may also explain why Michigan is in the top 20 due to its history of being the heart of the US automotive industry.
10:30 East Germany used to have a similar rule, united Germany continues it. On many crossings cars are allowed to turn right any time, even if the pedestrians have a green light. It's not the default though, only if there's a green arrow sign saying so. You can think of the green arrow as a permanent green traffic light.
Growing up in Canada, I thought that this was pretty normal. In all provinces except for Quebec, you can turn right on a red light any time when it is safe to do so. The one exception being if there is a sign that explicitly states no right turns on red. Pedestrian crossings at intersections nearly always give pedestrians the walk sign at the same time as the green light for traffic flowing in the same direction. Pedestrians always have the right of way as well in these cases.
17:54 Brazil instituted it as a celebration day many decades ago, but in practice no one actually celebrates it.
As a Brazilian, I had no idea we had Thanksgiving - it doesn't even make sense to have it, considering the context for the holiday. Buuuut, we do like sucking up and copying a lot of stuff from the US... I only know the date exists because of Black Friday.
You should REALLY make more of these! These maps interest me a great deal.

I've never heard of Thanksgiving in the Netherlands, I'm extremely offended.
I'm dutch myself. Did a quick search, apparently 'Dankdag'a protestants day is a thanksgiving day.
Also there are some correlations with the city of Leiden, with apparently is somewhat the origin of Thanksgiving.
But to include the Netherlands in as celebrating thanksgiving seems a little odd, when it's only done by a small amount of people.
Never heard of it either.
@@proman9849 Never heard of that either. I also read the thing about Leiden, seems very farfetched.
Me neither it was surreal seeing it on the map lol
@@proman9849 I do 'celebrate' Dankdag (the protestant one, not the one in Leiden), though it's not actually a celebration, at this point it's really just a free day from school which is nice I guess.

When I went to NYC for the first time I was shocked by how people treat the walk lights religiously. Cars will be rolling up four feet away and everyone walks into the road.
I recently had to move to the south from the north and the pedestrian danger index is probably made worse by a general pedestrian culture in the south of running across a crowded road

In regards to Costa Rica If I'm not mistaken, we made thanksgiving a national day a few weeks ago, this is a strategy by the nation to attract more people from the United States that want to celebrate that day here! I suppose that you cant say that we actively celebrate thanksgiving, but at least we have an official day for it hahah
I love how you didnt pull any punches about your stance on certain political topics. If we want tolerance then we should tolerate each others opinions
The thing with the gun control map is that the main reason the nonrestrictive states that don't have high homicide rates are like that are because the people are spread out, there seems to be a correlation and perhaps causation from what I've seen where people get packed together and start killing each other, but if they're not packed together they don't start killing each other, meaning instead of gun control the answer is to SPREAD THE FUCK OUT instead of clumping together.
2:50 I grew up in rural Tennessee (One of the states in light orange) and it’s because there’s barely If any public transportation so everyone and I mean everyone drives a car.
Most streets outside of big cities and universities don’t even have sidewalks so your limited to grass or the shoulder of the road.
It’s almost like people down here think more lanes on highways means less people drive when all it does is put more cars on the road and they refuse to invest in any public transportation because they see it as something only poor people in big cities use (mostly because they’ve never been on a city to city train.)
The closest we even have to a functioning metro system is Atlanta’s subway and that’s pathetic compared to European and Asian rail lines
New York subway is actually good
@@celery7810 I’m talking about the south specifically (The north and west have a few good metros, but still nothing on the level of Europe or Asia.)
@@Bobspineable but that’s the point, this system objectively sucks for anybody whose not obsessed with driving cars. If you’ve ever been to a sports game in any large Southern city you’ve almost certainly experienced leaving the stadium, going to your parking garage or lot, and then waiting for 30 minutes - several hours for traffic to
Clear. That because the massive amount of pedestrians block the few small streets their allowed to go onto and cars are all jamming into each other until they can move in a constant traffic jam. My personal wait record was around 3 hours after getting out of a Tennessee Titans game in Nashville and the average is around 30 minutes to an hour.
If pedestrians could just hop on trains that could take them directly home or at least near it, they wouldn’t have to flood the streets to get their cars which makes the problem worse.
This isn’t limited to just sporting events either, because the complete lack of trains, buses, trams, or any non deadly bike lanes locks anyone without a car in their house and this is particularly bad for children; who are under complete house arrest until they can drive because the only way you can get around (most of the time in suburbia and rural areas) is by driving. Unless you have friends in your neighborhood your essentially screwed mentally and socially so it’s no surprise that mental health is a problem for American children.
Literally none of the governments down here even care either, because public transportation is often equated to big government which most southerners despise from being fed decades of neoliberal propaganda.
I love freedom
Here's why the Bible Belt has so many pedestrian fatalities:
American urban planning became very car-centric in the 20th century. The states in the Bible Belt have seen more growth since then, so their roads are wider, their cars move faster, and their transit networks are less developed. At the same time, car culture and American Conservatism have become intertwined for a variety of reasons. Big SUVs and lifted pickups are considered "tougher," and they're growing ever more popular in the South.
Finally, religious people are more rural, and rural areas have much higher pedestrian fatality rates in general compared to urban areas.
I like how inhinged this video got looking forward to more unhinged map discussion
“Loving the Bible makes you want to run over pedestrians”
Jesus take the wheel
Utah, compared to the other bible states does really well. It has some of the lowest homicides, and wasn’t included in pedestrian hits, compared to the south with high numbers in both
utah's cities are pretty walkable and the rural areas are so sparsely occupied, there's no reason to be walking near a road!
Oh the irony when Ibx2cat, a British guy mentions: "In New York they really care if you have a gun it's gonna be like another person living next door to you. If you shoot through a wall. You know, you might get a triple bang collateral". Meanwhile a British astrophysicist guy in Georgia dies in his sleep by a stray bullet that travelled through a wall and hit him in his bed. Oh the poorly timed irony. XD
I recently moved to Vermont and this state has some of the best pedestrian signaling I've ever seen. A lot of intersections here actually have electric no-turn signs that light up when a crosswalk is active. As for whether people disobey them, there's only been a couple particularly confusing junctions where I've noted that to be a common occurrence.
17:30 I actually 100% agree with this, that's something I've thought about myself and I came to a similar conclusion. It's not really as helpful for society as it may have once been, but it did helped establish morals and stuff but now it may be impeding certain kinds of progress. So it's a pretty mixed bag
2:36 this moment reminded me, why I’m subscribed on this channel
I think the sunshine belt has more pedestrian fatalities because the infrastructure is more car-oriented due to it being largely developed in the last half of the 20th century. The north is older and more pedestrian focused/less car oriented. Think LA versus Chicago or new york. This is at least the rhetoric on Urban design CZcams/ my urban design class in college
No, it's because everyone runs across busy roads. People are suicidal down here lol.
@@thelordofcringe it may seem that way but probably not the main reason

Utah and Idaho are looking really good on this map. They have very low amounts of racism. Both Utah and Idaho have low pedestrian death scores. Very low gun homicides, but also friendly towards guns. So it goes to show, they're religious, but they know to not kill people and not be racist and still have guns for I guess hunting or emergency related reasons?
Check the news for 4 college girls slain...
Not gun deaths, so you're still technically correct.
But Idaho is gorgeous. And Utah as well. They're both out West so I guess I'm being redundant.
Idaho is extremely racist, that is the headquarters of white supremacists.
@@rickberglund2134 My original comment was a joke. I'm sure there's probably some white supremacist folk in Idaho. But I think racism and white supremacy are more associated with states in the southeast like Alabama, Mississippi, and etc instead of Idaho, a much smaller state (by population)
Wow, this video is so technologically innovative
7:30 low population areas can actually have their firearm homicide rates (and crime rates more generally) skewed BECAUSE of their low populations... all it takes is one multiple victim incident to throw things off. There was a village in Alaska years ago that had a shooting spree that killed like 1/5th of the entire population. Thus, the gun homicides per 100k was some insane number like 20,000. Usually, lists of cities have a minimum population qualifier for that kind of reason
Kind of like the "life expectancy" of 30 or 40 people insist we had back in the day.
The south is so gun friendly in the U.S is because they’re are a lot of people who like hunting.

Southern suburbs are generally pretty car-dependent (more than average in the U.S.) and enjoy driving larger vehicles. Maybe that's why more pedestrians die. It would be interesting to confirm this by looking at pedestrian deaths by municipality to see if suburbs house the most fatalities. They notoriously have little to no walking infrastrusture.
No, the correlation between the Bible belt and pedestrian death is that it is in the South, where people are more likely to be walking during the entire year. I presume people aren't out talking long walks in Minnesota in January.
It is based on the weather but not for that reason. The South only became highly populated with the invention of the air conditioner. Before the air conditioner our summers were way too hot to handle. So when the Greatest Generation flocked down to the Bible Belt after WW2 the US was in it’s car centric phase. This made all the new areas built in the south car dependent thus killing more pedestrians.
Nah it’s probably based on car centric city planning. All areas that experienced most of their growth in the mid twentieth century became very Centric and hostile to pedestrians. This even explains the outliers in the map like Maryland and the southwest. The Sun Belt embodied the suburban lifestyle and as the data shows, it came at a cost.
Furthermore I am very offended at the idea that more than one country celebrates Thanksgiving. I think we should introduce a day of anti-Thanksgiving. We could call it Hatesgiving or Condemnations Day. But personally I'd name it Scornsgiving. The first International Holiday. All non-US countries in the world could come together to pour scorn on the US's silly parochial ways and violent foreign policies.
And we can cook non-American foods like sushi or a meat pie or a currywurst or a pho or jollof rice. And we can play non-American sports, such as all known sports. We could build non-US forts such as weak ones or ones made of wood. We could deface the US flag in fun and imaginative ways like putting a union jack where the stars normally go and also wipe our bums with it for a bit of a laugh. We could make non-American TV specials where the plot actually develops and there's limited CGI effects and the main actor isn't Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. And finally we could avoid traditional American pastimes like baking a cherry pie, driving a massive car or shooting a man to the ground in cold blood. Just some ideas to get things off the ground.
Sounds like the two minute Hate and Hate Week from 1984. What's wrong with giving thanks for what you have and being grateful for your friends and family.

@@_Shadbolt_ that is not a word, bigoted means to show prejudice towards those who are members of a specific group. Everything you said is prejudice against Americans, ergo, you are bigoted. Any and every food can and will be considered American to some degree; sushi has the California roll, which was made by Japanese Americans to placate American tastes. America took nothing, people came to America and made sushi American. That is the art of America, any and all food can and will be American. I frankly don't care if you're just trolling, it passes time and I frankly love to see what stupidity trolls come up with.
@@tombolt13thexehanort29 Omg obviously I'm just trolling, I was playing along with Toycat's joke about offensiveness. I thought you were in on it too lol. I was only joking mate.
@@_Shadbolt_ I kind of suspected as much, I make a past time out of replying to comments I think are trolls, sometimes trolls say very entertaining things. We could have kept it going a little more, I was exaggerating about the "everything can and will be American". "Smalligot" was a good pun btw, I'll remember that one if I ever feel like messing with someone. Sometimes trolls double down and that is when things get really funny. But seriously, is there a stereotype about Americans baking cherry pies?
i loved this video !
Well depending on the parts of the south you are in they have horrible roads.
With gun related statics you have to figure out where they get the information from as, normally, it is skewed one way or another
toycat needs to hear that correlation doesn't equal causation
Wow I'm so engaged by the video that I comment.
Such high quality!
If you're in Oklahoma at a restaurant and there are zero immigrant workers in the kitchen--chances are that restaurant owner or manager is biased against immigrants. Cooking/kitchen work is such an incredibly popular job for immigrants in Oklahoma, something is usually off/wrong if an Oklahoma kitchen hires only naturally-born US citizens.
Europe exported so much religion that they don't have enough to go around for themselves.
"Stop reading your bible when you're driving" Too political
The reason that southern states have more pedestrian deaths is because it is warmer on average there for more days than on average across the rest of the US so people are out walking around during more of the year. There is also probably less pedestrian-friendly infrastructure in these states plus more miles of rural roads that are poorly-lit, have insufficient shoulder room for pedestrians, and many poorer people that rely on walking to shop for goods.
People in rural areas are also probably more likely to walk along public roads due to less fear of crime in comparison to urban areas.
The correlation to gun friendliness and homicide isn't telling the entire picture. It's actually the states with the highest poverty rate that have the highest homicide rate, that and having high population density also increases murder rate. Chicago has a lot of poverty, high population density and very, very, very high murder rate. Ditto to Detroit. LA, Houston and so on have high rates of poverty and high rates of murder. If you look at say Austin which has a lower poverty rate than Houston the murder rate is quite low while the gun laws are more relaxed. The south has a high poverty rate in general and thus a high murder rate. Gun control measures, at least, the ones on the books don't seem to have much of an effect on murder rate.
I think the bible best/pedestrian fatalities link must be "Jesus take the wheel"
The map is strange because its using the Google Trends divide by metropolitan areas, the orange area is the LA metropolitan area I believe.

Moved to Arizona in 2012. Never heard of a wrong way driver on freeway. But Holy Hell it would happen about once every two months. Sometimes more. I left in 2020 to another state. Stopped again. WTH?
I have a similar experience, coming from Norway and lived in Poland for a while. Wild driving down there. Had never in my life seen anyone driving around a "traffic island" going against traffic, to bypass someone. Saw it twice in the first month of driving. ..And then I went to Italy..🤯
I lived in Orlando, it’s worse then those pictures on google can show. There are streets covered one end to the other by small broken car parts in the gutter by the side walks. Car accidents are so common tire screeching does nothing for anyone. I personally got hit by a car twice while on a bike 🚴 not a motorcycle a mountain bike. It’s stupid
3:50 yeah, this is part of the reason we do need guns though, for self defense. Criminals will get them no problem, even if they're illegal, so I guess you gotta even it out. I think there should be a little more security though, maybe a mental health test.
Also the thing with Alaska, guns are kind of a necessity if you like to walk out in nature because the animals are terrifying. Even inside homes. If a bear wants in, it's in. I guess same goes for many states but yeah...
You showed an interesting map of the planets and where Uranus was at some point 😮
10:30 The reason the South has more car deaths than other parts of the country is that our infrastructure was built during the 50’s, the most car dependent building phase of American history. We only grew in population significantly during the 50’s due to the invention of the air conditioner making it bare able and all the soldiers coming home and then moving down to the Bible Belt.

Religion has caused tensions with groups with values that are against or are not allowed in that religion. We need to move toward a more secular society and better ourselvs.
17:45 Thanksgiving: I think listing "the Netherlands" is a bit overdoing it. There is ONE church in ONE town where on the American Thanksgivingday a service is held in commemoration of the Pilgrims who migrated to Plymouth. And there are some Orthodox Protestant Churches who have a "thanksgiving day" which has nothing to do with the American version and it only means an extra Churchday for them. It is not a public holiday, in fact I only found out because this item confused me
