Enforce the damn laws, please!
Today I was driving on a busy urban highway with a deadly combination. It had lots of speeding vehicles right adjacent to unaware pedestrians and bicycle riders.
In fact, within about 100 yards of each other I saw both a pedestrian and biker crossing the road at mid-block as in J-walking.
One of the two was completely day-dreaming and acted as though she didn’t know where she was.
Folks, bicycle and pedestrians are at a great disadvantage to the automobile in a battle for road space. Both weigh almost nothing relative to the car and yes get hurt or killed when hit.
In my state, in my town we are spending big time resources to help bikes and pedestrians stay safe on our dangerous roads. However, nothing I mean nothing helps when the smaller road user in just plain dumb. Please use the marked X-walks, green signals, and keep your head in the game. Please don’t cross busy roads while listening to a CD with earphones.
Where's a cop when you need one?
