I am reminded that the first student death on Cootes Drive from McMaster to Saunders didn't happen until a few weeks after the traffic lights were installed.

I don't know what actually happened, or if the driver was ever charged, so I don't know whose "fault" it was, but people had been jaywalking there for years without any fatalities. The traffic light was put in for cautionary safety reasons.

Disgustingly, even though they are the most responsive lights I've ever experienced, people are still jaywalking there.
