What if the people in the crosswalk were just crossing (not looking at phones) and the driver was distracted?



if the driver was though, this is totally avoidable

This is a failure of the city and the university to make safer crosswalks


How else do you make a crosswalk safer if a car is driving through a red light?

Do you laugh at plane crashes and heart attacks too? Jeeze


I laughed at the dude who stole the plane a few weeks ago, did a barrel roll and crashed and died.

That shite was funny. How could you listen to him ask if the plane can do a backflip and not laugh?

Apparently you install railroad style gates to come down, flashing red lights and all

Did the black car get t-boned and pushed into the pedestrians that were on the sidewalk perhaps?

Pedestrian bridge? Would also make the traffic flow smoother, especially on gamedays.

the only thing that makes me think is how so many of you lack creativity so you have to keep retelling the same shitty joke in every thread

Looks like one car isn't even in the street anymore, so might have been a car wreck that ended up hitting people on the sidewalk.

That's just shite luck.

Oh, Ok. So if the car comes flying around the corner from behind you I guess you’re going to..what...teleport to the other side?

My goodness you sound like an idiot.

I was at that intersection yesterday cuz I had to go to he vet school for the pup and they had a cop stationed there to help people cross so I’d venture to think it wasn’t just distracted kids stepping out into traffic

fricking cell phones.

Sadly, there's a good chance that the driver AND the pedestrians were all on their respective phones. I sometimes count/pay attention to how many people around me while driving are on their phones. It's crazy.

Looks like WALL-E is where we may be headed.

Or someone who doesn’t trust other people to do what they’re supposed to. Because other people are... you know... distracted by their phones?

I don’t just walk out into a crosswalk bc “I’m walking and I have that right and you have to stop bc ha!” I stop and make sure the cars see me and are stopping to let me cross before I walk.

Guess how many times I’ve been hit by a car in a crosswalk? Big ole zero.
