Almost like a horror movie

...Or a Mafia warning

Jaywalk sounds like a good name for a movie ngl

Yes, because you accept that roads are dangerous because of cars.

But who is giving this warning? The same institution that allowed the roads to become unsafe in the first place, and should protect vulnerable users instead of blaming them. This makes it victim blaming.

Road is public space and it doesn't make sense that so much of it is unsafe for people not in a metal cage. Do you see which community we are in, by the way?

I recommend you give this book a read, it goes into detail as to how this most certainly is victim blaming.

Edit:

I just remembered a thing I saw to help visualise how much of our public space has been dedicated to death. It was created for a Swedish speed reduction campaign

Kinda like "the morgue is full of people who had the right-of-way"

Imagine this as a cyclist when people roll at junctions and you don't know if they're seeing you or about to t-bone you

Totally get this. On the other hand, in my city where the streets are wide as shit and crossing signals are timed for only the quickest of walkers-you need every second you can get.

@phed @lgsp If you're driving and the environment including the presence of other road users is making you feel uncomfortable, slowing down should help.

Also, you do know that at a crossing without a light, you have to stop for pedestrians, right? They stand on the edge of the curb to let you know they want to cross. If they stand back out of the way, they might never get to cross until a really kind driver comes along and there aren't many of those these days.
