Sociology
Welcome to c/sociology!
Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

Nope. Infrastructure problem. Why is the pedestrian walking in the road and not on a pedestrian path? There likely is none.
Because they refuse to walk further down (or up) to the crosswalk.
Nice assumption to make a straw man.
Here's an idea. Walk alongside the road. With the exception of those that have disabilities and for some reason can't be walking on grass, the rest of us can walk OFF of the road.
