Correct. Only tunnels like that I've seen were abroad, here you have to chance it on foot or get a car.
Lol "chance it" like every time you cross a street at a red light it's frogger. 🙄
There are crossings at intersections around where I live, but generally crosswalks are few and far between anywhere else (especially on long stroads)
I really don't understand why other than cities and towns aren't willing to spend money on the sidewalks and painted lines

You seen pics of the streets after they implemented congestion pricing? I lived there for years and never saw anything like it.
Fuck you and your public transit system. ~ A Texan (and no, the DART doesn't count, it's underground for one station...)
at least we HAVE a public transit system
Yeah, tunneling through that rock would be more expensive than moving everyone there to Mars.
You should rewatch The Matrix. Any human presence above ground is met with immediate hostility and death.
Must be an American comic
