Instructions unclear, my penis is stuck now
I explain to people in my vicinity why cars suck. I find that most people agree.
It may be a cultural barrier, but most people in my vicinity do not agree, they want more lanes...
That sounds like an incredibly silly thing to do. You are more likely to get yourself injured than have any affect on the prevalence of cars.
There is a historic neighborhood in my city with narrow stone streets, it's got plenty of car traffic during the day. At night it's prime nightlife, streets filled with (inebriated) pedestrians. When the entitled drivers arrogantly drive there at night honking at pedestrians, they quickly find themselves booed, flipped off, covered in empty beer cups balanced on the hood. It's a beautiful sight to see people reclaim the streets.
It reminds me of the old town of Zurich, cars have no right to be ruining such historical landmarks...
Not really trying to make a change, I am just pissed.
To be honest, I never really had anything close to a scare. Children could be walking around, and thankfully drunk driving is not that common here.
I push the crossing button to force the red light for cars, even when I don't need to cross.
Great idea!! I love how unnecessary it is, I will start doing it!!
My favorite part of daily walking / train / bike share commute is using a particular mid block crosswalk with flashing lights to stop 4 lanes of traffic at rush hour.
It's like walking on red carpet
When I do drive, I follow the rules of the road exactly. People have commented on the fact that I actually come to a complete stop at stop signs, and didn't turn right in front of a crossing pedestrian.
