I know it's for pedestrian safety but I just feel like Europeans should stop walking in front of cars even if they have the "right-of-way". My dad always taught me as a kid; you can be right but you'll be dead-right if you don't look in every direction for a car. I applaud the effort to save lives but perhaps we should look for ways to avoid the human/car impact altogether.

I've heard that before, but I don't understand how that cut line makes pedestrian impacts more safe. Is there a crumple zone in there?
