We donโ€™t blink an eye when told to not stand under something being lifted by a crane, so why balk at being told to be safe around the two ton travelling metal boxes?

Nobody is saying that you shouldnโ€™t act safely around cars. People are saying we shouldnโ€™t design transportation infrastructure that prioritizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. Cranes are only allowed to operate in much more tightly controlled situations than drivers.
