As a pedestrian (most of the time), I am always careful not to walk in the marked bike lanes, I look both ways when crossing the marked bike lanes, and I cross at cross walks. Call me paranoid, but since I'm much more at risk for serious injury/death in a collision I never "trust" that the other person can see me or will stop for me. I think that we'd get further in convincing cyclists/boarders to be more responsible if we're more responsible as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487997866645638342.post-75030136838600524772010-04-16T15:45:34.915-06:002010-04-16T15:45:34.915-06:00And while we are stating that the bike lane is for...And while we are stating that the bike lane is for riders, how about pedestrians walking across streets in "marked crosswalks" not walking up the middle of a street or "jay-walking" or crossing wherever they feel.<br /><br />Pedestrians do not have the right of way just because you are walking. I have seen accidents of pedestrians being hit while they were "jay-walking and texting" just because you have your head burried in the phone like an ostrich does in the dirt does not make you immune from the impact of a two ton vehicle.<br /><br />It is to bad CU does not force students, and staff to take a class called common sense 101 and 201. But sigh... most would fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
