Walking in Waterloo Region

[ookpik]

Yep, here we go again as right - as long as people keep up with the offhanded snide remarks wanting to paint cars as evil, vile, destructors of the earth, instead of one of the many various modes of transportation used in a community.

???

My point is that the consequences to pedestrians/cyclists who violate traffic regulations are grossly asymmetric compared to motor vehicle drivers. They have a much stronger incentive to look before they leap out into traffic. Consequently an attempt to defend misbehaviour on the part of motor vehicle drives by remarking that others do it too is a faulty argument.

Any inference that this is an "offhanded snide remark wanting to paint cars as evil, vile, destructors of the earth..." is entirely a figment of your hyperbolically-vivid imagination.

By your metrics, we should not be building Light Rail, which will maim, disfigure and kill dozens of people per year when rules are not followed.

Again that's neither what I said nor a reasonable inference considering my, um, undying support for LRT. Read my posts on the various LRT-related threads if you need further reassurance.
