You can keep asking that question, but physics doesn't care about who is morally right. Everyone should pay more attention to increase safety. Drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, everyone.
- estebank 5y agoAlternatively, instead of relying on people not acting like people, we could design the streets themselves to be safer for everyone. Doing so most of the time has a lot of pushback due to the perception from drivers that doing so is somehow punishing them.
- rootusrootus 5y agoAs someone who drives more than walks (except for my daily three mile recreational walks), I agree. Roads are often designed for speed, not for multi-user safety. I think city streets should be narrower in general, to the point of being single-lane in residential neighborhoods. Changing speed signs doesn't really have a strong effect. Changing design works.
