Not really. I mean you made mocking text, but doesn’t apply.
A) you don’t know this, but no car I’ve ever owned weighs 2 tons. That’s one of the fuckcar points I totally agree with. Cars are too heavy and impractically large. One car of mine is 2400lbs, the other is 2100lbs.
B) not in a hurry, as I mentioned, I can casually slow down with plenty of time. There are two intersections in mind when I wrote that post. One was the crest of a hill where the elevated flashing lights give drivers an additional 8-10 seconds of advanced notice. It’s really nice and logical. The second intersection has many trees (which look awesome) but they block light which makes it harder to see. Its also a 30mph road. Pedestrians don’t often realize popping their heads out from behind a dumpster doesn’t give anyone much time to react. The flashing lights give drivers, including me, advanced warning almost a block away to slow way down and prepare to stop.
I know this is fuckcars, but don’t hate on pedestrian safety systems. That’s ludicrous! You’re just doing a disservice to your cause.
