I think it might depend on the dog, though. If it was a domestic dog that ran away from home, it's more likely that it will be run over if tries to cross the street. Dogs that have been raised in the streets will probably be more alert. It's probably like pigeons... It's so rare to see one of them dead in the street when compared to the number of pigeons we see everyday. They're so used to cars that they learn how to fly away from them really fast.
But I agree, dogs aren't really eye creatures. They don't seem to care about danger until it's already too late and it jumped up on him. My dog for example, she'll start barking even before I can hear a noise, but when it comes to sight she's not really an expert.
