another day of thanking god i don’t live in am🤢rika 🙏🙏🙏
Literally me everytime that I see this level of shit.
My city still has a looot to do regarding cars, but today I did 32km on my bike without touching a single road.
There are no pedestrian crossings?
there probably are, it’s just that nobody is crazy enough to be using this atrocious system 🤷♀️
These are at either end of some pedestrian crossings. Usually there aren’t instructions though - just bright flags to increase visibility.
It looks like it’s a pedestrian crossing on a road with two traffic lanes in each directions, plus a turning lane. Because of the high speeds and car-centric design, drivers often wouldn’t see pedestrians in time. It’s the hazard of a strode.
If they need to do this, just have an actual traffic light FFS. Those weird crosswalk yellow strobes make no sense when you can just have a normal red light that switches every minute.
This IS at a pedestrian crossing. But cars over here have a tendency to mow you down when crossing at an uncontrolled crosswalk (i.e. no traffic light), probably because they never expect pedestrians since literally everyone drives everywhere, so they don’t give a shit about the pedestrian signals.
this is scary
Very wrong way to solve road crossing.
- Pick up the Flag
- Walk as soon as the light turns green
- Walk away
Boom, you now have free pedestrian flag. Feel free to write “Fuck Cars” on it in red paint.
