Like I said above dude we have a lot to concentrate on and sometimes can't devote 100% of our attention to look for peds, especially when we're doing our over shoulder checks and stuff, it only takes a second for someone to run out.
That's a pretty good argument for segregation you've got there

If you can't provide 100%, then compensate to adjust for this.

It's a nice sentiment, but how do we draw the line here?
At traffic crossings we the share right of way, and we have traffic lights to tell us when we can do that safely. If there isn't any kind of system in place and people can run into the road at any time then it's up to the skill of each individual road user to avert a collision, how would we quantify who is safe enough to be a road user?
