    I’m excited for the day I’m coming home from work at night, coming over a hill I can’t see over, and then BOOM a human is in the middle of the road and I run someone over, because they “deserve to use the road as a pedestrian”

    Cool. I’ll tell that to my therapist for the rest of my life while I try and cope with the fact that I’ve ended a life.

    It’s one thing for someone to walk down the street and put themselves at risk.

    It’s an entirely different deal to force an unsuspecting person into a dangerous situation. That’s fucking selfish.

      Totally agree.

      Let’s make more spaces for pedestrians, but let’s not joust with cars.

        Yes. Driving the speed limit and cresting a hill is dangerous.

        Walking on a road where a hill hides you from drivers isn’t. How could I mistake those.
