Not to mention that blind people exist
- mindslight 5y agoAnd people that are mobility impaired, such that they cannot get across the street in a shorter amount of time or be agile enough to dodge vehicles that behave unexpectedly. But that's not really relevant to the vast majority of people being goaded into using walk buttons. Many times, it's just a disservice to yourself and a disservice to vehicles. And yes, ideally we'd use our collective political will to stop further dystopian developments like advertising at traffic lights for everyone. But when that fails (which would be likely given how saturated our society is with advertising), it's still important we exercise our individual ability to reject it, even if not everybody can.
