Imagine being in a city so pedestrian hostile that you need flags to be noticed by cars (Salt Lake City, I’m looking at you). And of course it’s never the driver’s fault.

Yeah, if you’re in SLC, just give up on walking anywhere and take the Blue line, or the Green line. Every place you need to go to is a little too far to walk anyway.

Do you mean a pole with flags on it that you grab and bring to the other side when you cross? I've also run into those in Jackson Hole

The last time I had to drop off my car at the nearest tire shop and walked the 1.5 miles on the dangerous road to get to my quiet road I had three different people stop to offer me a ride to get me out of danger. It's just two narrow lanes and a ditch and cars going 45-55 mph. You 100% can't ride a bike on it, I've seen one in 17 years.
