Why is it uncrossable? Traffic doesn't drive too fast. Maybe its a bit busy and a bit wide for comfort, but crossable nontheless. Regardless, it's stupid they don't at least put a zebra crossing in.
What do you think this is, Frogger?
I bet he's too young to know what Frogger is.
Good point. I've added a link for intergenerational context ;-)
Having to add the link certainly made me feel old. 👴
It’s five lanes and the speed limit is 50mph. I’m not crossing that.
That's insane. 50mph road with not even a middle island?
Yeah I mean I COULD cross it, but it's not something I'd want to do. I'd definitely never ever want my kids doing it.
Putting zebra crossing on 4 or 5 lanes is sending people to certain deaths
This isn't Vietnam. Drivers in America aim for bikers and pedestrians.
Isn't that what "open carry" is for? (American problems require American solutions) 😅
Even when ignoring the risk of crossing such a wide road, wouldn't it be jaywalking and thus illegal anyways in the US?
Jaywalking isn’t illegal in most places and in the places where it is illegal unless you’re causing a disturbance you’re usually just going to get a cop telling you to find a crosswalk, not arresting or fining you.
