Finally, Zero Visibility

Comments

Why don't they try a PR program to explain to pedestrians that they MUST:
1. look both ways before and DURING crossing
2. Always look to see if there is a car coming in the other lane.

That will solve about 1/2 of the problem.

To be clear, the Vision Zero name may verge on hyperbole, but not the concept--it's a great program. And any laughing is probably about the attempt to make us look like antagonists. We're very much in agreement about safety.

Everyone's aware that the cost of eliminating that last death is infinitely large right?

David Clark wants people to make sure and look so that they can see that he isn't going to stop for them.

How long will we have to wait before someone trots out the tired old "when a 200lb person goes up against a 3000lb car, they're going to lose" canard?

ME---would you rather see more people killed? You appear to be letting your hate of cars overcome the practical reality of saving lives.

I am of the opinion that we should be more concerned with driver-education rather than posting more speed limits or improving infrastructure with regard to making roadways safer for everyone.

Spending all that money for signs and rules and legislation seems foolish when it's the people who drive like assholes that make our roads and sidewalks unsafe.

Not sure how people drive in your neighborhood, but I have seen shit in east Portland that makes my butt pucker just thinking about. Too many drivers these days have no courtesy or respect for other drivers or traffic laws.

How about actually policing traffic, like in the old days? It's not like the PPB is short-staffed.

Please wait...
