Part of it is that sidewalks are constantly, inexplicably ending
Incidentally, this is my path at the moment walking to get lunch  image sharing I'm sure if someone commutes on foot by necessity every day they tire of hopping on/off the road or following a sidewalk to a dead end. House I used to live at had a lot of wheelchair traffic, almost exclusively on the road so as to not get stranded. Most of the bus stops at my new place meanwhile unload into the grass. Still foolish to not walk on the sidewalk when available but I can understand an "eff it" mentality.
