Good.
Maybe we’ll start designing our cities and lives for shorter commutes, benefiting ourselves and our environment? Might just be me tho.
Comment on Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help.

Absolutely. ignoring the issue is not going to help.

It’s less city engineers and moreso American/Canadian laws that make it illegal to build objectively better infrastructure.

I’d rather commuting take longer if less people die. But that’s just me.

That’s the usual sentiment in social media comments but in reality most people don’t behave this way. We need to live in the real world if we want to change it. Living a delusion and expecting others to support it is not going to help in reality.

I mean until recently more people used to die in car accidents than by gunfire. It was the leading cause for kids. I am not advocating for lack of concern. But making cars less useful it’s not a solution since people still have to commute long distances in some countries. You have to weigh the benefits against the costs. If you believe that pedestrians should always be prioritized then you should be advocating for a complete ban on cars
