my dude you do realize that's exactly what people did in the past before cars existed, right? There's a video of olden gothenburg that shows kids running in front of the trams for fun!

And if you go there now you'll see people crossing precisely wherever the fuck they please, because it's just inherently way easier to deal with a couple public transport vehicles per minute than it is 50 cars.
