Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[dtkvictim]

Yeah, and drivers complain about seeing pedestrians, that pedestrian was 100% visible for many seconds, that driver even moved to go around them.

They saw them, and decide that nearly running them over was the correct course of action.

Unfortunately that is Every. Fucking. Day....and our regional engineers do not care one bit. They will tell you it doesn't happen, when you show them, they pretend there's nothing they can do.

I've thought about getting a body cam, if it didn't look so silly, to make a compilation of all the dangerous situations. I used to walk commute through Weber & Victoria every day and I'd probably have been dead 20 times over the course of 1.5 years if I always took my right of way.

Even on my daily casual walks where I specifically avoid areas with cars, I still see dangerous and illegal maneuvers at least once a week.
