When 80 zones go down to 70 and 60 zones fuck that shit. New houses got built, the limit was 80 if people don't like living near an 80kmh road, don't buy that house... It was bad enough being forced to do 60-70 because people took ages to get up to the limit when it was 80. Now we're doing 50-60 because the same people struggle to get up to speed once again.
How about everywhere that isn't a side street just becomes an 80 zone and we start aggressively ticketing distracted drivers, distracted pedestrians, and people who can't handle things like driving in the correct lane, and people who can't properly use a turn indicator? You know, the actual problems...
Ticketing distracted pedestrians? What kinda garbage city do you wanna live in lmao
Out of curiosity, what do you view as a well designed city that would be a good example of what you want to see more of
I walk as much as I drive. The people I see crossing the street while staring at their phone and/or wearing headphones is wild. As are the Leo who stand as close to the edge of the sidewalk as possible waiting for the light of to change, but you can't do much there.
You also get people crossing when the hand is up, which should also be a ticketable offense.
Not a garbage city, a city with equal responsibility and accountability.
If we're going to push for lower speed limits then I want to see adequate crosswalks, and vehicles and pedestrians being equally fined for infractions.
Neither activity is difficult business, yet we have a staggering amount of people driving who shouldn't be, and pedestrians who are gonna end up in the hospital due to their own stupidity.
