       Crossing the Street Shouldn't Be Deadly (but it is)Crossing the street should be safe, convenient, and easy, but it isn't. And that's because in the US and Canada, the roads are designed for exactly one purpose: to move lots of cars as quickly as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ByEBjf9ktY

       @alex_02 :blobcatgiggle: oh yeah!They don't even dare over here in general 💪 Hitting a pedestrian or bike with  your car doesn't end well for the car driver often, and as it shouldShouldn't drive a death machine if you can't handle it 🤷

       @justyourbud No worries, no worries :blobcatgiggle: ❤️ The US is so unlogical in so many ways and transportation is a big one, not only the size of cars but the whole obsession with cars and drivingDriving is a privilege, not a right i think otherwise they should provide ppl with cars or whatever while they can't even build a proper train lol

       @stux I had to teach my kid to look both ways before crossing *including on one-way streets and when traffic has red lights* because of how bad drivers have gotten in Toronto in recent decades.At risk of sounding 85, back in my day, that didn’t happen. But it legit didn’t. There are more drivers here than ever before, and they’re lazier and more distracted than ever before.Bad combination.

       @stux Having been to Florida last year I can assure you, they fail even at that. The crossing with stop signs on all sides where it's stop, 1 car, stop, 1 car, stop, drove me insane.

       @stux It isn't just the drivers.  A lot of pedestrians just walk out into the roads without checking for traffic, and some of them deliberately step out into traffic, daring drivers to hit them.
