Gregory's Server@mbonsma , although I agree, when you are run over by a car it no longer matters who was at fault. This is why I often tell my kids that it matters little how good I am behind the wheel, but the sum of every car I meet while driving. The white (or yellow) line in the road is not a magical barrier. So yes, one has to move about defensively as if your life depends on it, and that is especially true for pedestrians.

@mbonsma , not what I meant. I want roads isolated from pedestrian and bicycles too. I think we put way too much faith into tonnes of mass on wheels wizzing about our ears too. Just saying that we need to adapt to current situations and not focus who is at fault when the accident happens which is unfortunately the extent of the discussion when you look in e.g. the news. |
@jclonningdal So let's not blame the victims and instead let's focus on systemic solutions that will actually make our streets safer. We've tried telling pedestrians to be safe for many decades and it's not working, so let's do literally anything else
