Here’s how YOU can stay safe as a pedestrian!
Simply demand your city provide you with:
1. Daylit crosswalks
2. Bumpouts that shorten your crossing distance
3. Leading pedestrian interval coupled with No Turn On Red
4. Continuous sidewalks/raised crosswalks
5. Less cars
A police officer in Tennessee ran a red light and almost collided into a school bus. State trooper William Whitson didn't realize he was being recorded so he never reported the near crash. He was docked one day without pay.
Today I was told to "get the fuck out of the way!" while using a signaled and marked crosswalk in broad daylight. Unfortunately, that often-yelled phrase makes me walk even slower, for some weird go-fuck-yourself reason.
