What part of stop bicycling and walking on the roads here do people not comprehend? People can’t drive and do not care about anything but how fast they can get to their destination
People you are simply asking to get hit by biking and walking on the roads
No…many don’t care about anything except what is on the screen of their cell phones…while driving.
No….people drive like absolute maniacs here, cell phones are one factor but the excessive 20-30+ over speed limits is a huge factor
What do you expect poor people to do? Just float to their destination? Maybe if we did something about reckless drivers rather than slap them on the wrist this wouldn’t happen. People shouldn’t have to fear walking and bicycling around our county
That’s no excuse, there is free public transportation available for poor people
There are some places and times that the public transportation system doesn’t service. People who work night or have evening commitments can’t depend on it being available after regular business hours. However, there have been pedestrians hit walking along roads at early hours, like 3:30 and 4:00 am. I haven’t figured out why they’re walking at those hours.
