Zero. Pedestrians rule. Walking is the default, so if intentionally blocking vehicles becomes a problem somewhere, we might do well to listen to those aggrieved

Zero. Pedestrians rule. Walking is the default, so if intentionally blocking vehicles becomes a problem somewhere, we might do well to listen to those aggrieved. People and things are moved around in vehicles, some of those people may need that mobility and some of those things may be deemed necessary, and in general my feeling is that deference to those on foot (or self-powered in general, or equivalent, for those who need the assistance) is something to maintain for our collective well-being.
- robbedpeter 5y agoIt's like you've never encountered idiots, drunks, or assholes. Civil disobedience is all well and good, but normalizing acting like an asshole makes for a shitty culture. Yes, intentionally blocking someone's car makes you an asshole, not an activist hero.
- meristohm 5y agoWhat percentage of the population behaves in the ways you seem concerned about? Each of those (idiocy, inebriation, and assholery) may have a variety of causes, and could be exacerbated, rather than fixed, with a fine. What are some proactive ways we could help travel routes be safer? Do you expect harmful behavior to reduce to zero?
