Update: Tankboy driving this CyberTruck approached me and threatened to beat me up if I didn't remove this tweet and he's going to call
@ward32chicago
because of my plants. He claims he didn't run this stop sign.

Update: I'm in trouble now. Discovered that Tankboy's wife organizes the Bucktown Garden Walk. I put a Garden Walk sign stating the irony of this since he filed a 311 on my garden and he called the cops.

Thanks. There are people who want everything paved. I grew up in a suburb that had no trees and it was horrible.

Based on years of doing this, over 90% of pedestrian incidents occur on the other side of the street. They took parking away from this side day lighting it. You can easily see pedestrians there unless you're not paying attention or have small side windows like on a Cybertruck.

You can clearly see a 3' child on the other side and I have lots of videos in this feed showing cars blowing past them and lots more I haven't shown. Bump outs are way safer.

People routinely drive through stop signs because society has dictated this is acceptable for cars but not for bicycles.
Is this wrong when everyone is doing it?

In polite society drivers appreciate when pedestrians show gratitude for taking the time to stop.

The neighborhood reckless drivers, of which there are many, who are used to flying through stop signs daring pedestrians to cross in their way, make the calls to get these removed and lobby to prevent CDOT from installing them. The reckless driving lobby is powerful.

Happy New Year. Attached are 12 six second snippets of outtakes that don't include pedestrians, one for each month of 2023.
Only choosing one each month was difficult and to paraphrase the Blues Brothers; these outtakes happen so often you hardly notice them.

Illinois law mandates that big wheels must be walked in a crosswalk.

Bike lanes are not that beneficial especially when bicyclists 🚴 don’t follow the rules of the road.

A safe driver would have seen the stopped car with a green light and slowed preparing for trouble. Having to swerve like this means you already lost and are lucky the turning car cooperated by not hitting you. Identify, Predict, Decide, and Execute.

Did you know that distracted walking can be just as dangerous as distracted driving? Be a safe pedestrian; don't walk distracted.

Miscalculating timing that results in hitting pedestrians not paying attention is a risk drivers are willing to accept.

Around here bicyclists ignore stop signs, I dont have to wave them through. I just have to avoid hitting them.

Stopping is only required if a pedestrian has one foot touching the crosswalk.

The pic with the 40mph speed limit sign knocked down is a keeper. The last time I drove DLSD I was doing 40 in the far right lane and was so much the slowest car on the road it became dangerous and had to speed up.

My motorcycle safety instructor taught us that it doesn't matter who is at fault in an accident when we're the ones who end up in a wheelchair or dead.
In other words, always assume a car is going to turn in front of you and prepare. Works for driving cars too.
