'When did we let this happen in society?': Video shows cars flying past as pedestrian waits at new zebra crossing
A new zebra pedestrian crossing has been installed on a busy road in Trafford as part of a push to support active travel in the area. However, a video shared widely on Twitter has shown motorists ignoring this as a pedestrian waits to cross it.
The zebra crossing has been installed where there was previously an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing with an island. New segregated cycle lanes have also been installed on the road.Harry first shared a video of a car failing to stop at the crossing yesterday with the caption: "Another erosion of driving etiquette is stopping for pedestrians on zebra crossings.
To emphasise this, Harry shared another video where he approaches the crossing, stops and waits, and cars continue to pass. He added: "So in the first video apparently I was misbehaving by not stopping and allowing drivers a chance to see me waiting to cross. What excuses will they come up with now?"

Application of Artificial Intelligence to the Monitoring of Medication Adherence for Tuberculosis Treatment in Africa: Algorithm Development and ValidationBackground: Artificial intelligence (AI) applications based on advanced deep learning methods in image recognition tasks can increase efficiency in the monitoring of medication adherence through automation. AI has sparsely been evaluated for the monitoring of medication adherence in clinical settings. However, AI has the potential to transform the way health care is delivered even in limited-resource settings such as Africa. Objective: We aimed to pilot the development of a deep learning model for simple binary classification and confirmation of proper medication adherence to enhance efficiency in the use of video monitoring of patients in tuberculosis treatment. Methods: We used a secondary data set of 861 video images of medication intake that were collected from consenting adult patients with tuberculosis in an institutional review board–approved study evaluating video-observed therapy in Uganda. The video images were processed through a series of steps to prepare them for use in a training model. First, we annotated videos using a specific protocol to eliminate those with poor quality. After the initial annotation step, 497 videos had sufficient quality for training the models. Among them, 405 were positive samples, whereas 92 were negative samples. With some preprocessing techniques, we obtained 160 frames with a size of 224 × 224 in each video. We used a deep learning framework that leveraged 4 convolutional neural networks models to extract visual features from the video frames and automatically perform binary classification of adherence or nonadherence. We evaluated the diagnostic properties of the different models using sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, and precision. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to assess the discriminative performance and the speed per video review as a metric for model efficiency. We conducted a 5-fold internal cross-validation to determine the diagnostic and discriminative performance of the models. We did not conduct exter
