Georgia Mom Convicted of Vehicular Homicide For Crossing Street With Kids
Roads are for the convince of cars where even 2 second "delays" must be avoided at all costs for the "poor" cars. But for everyone else they must go through extreme inconvenience measured in double digit minutes. Or as I like to put the engineering principle of the times: since pedestrians go slow they should be forced to go significantly slower and since cars can go fast they must be accommodated to go even faster even though they could easily make up small delays because of their speed.
Is this the sign of things to come if bike/ped spending is considered not part of the transportation mix?
