I specifically time my pedestrian trips so as to avoid rush hour if possible. Why? Because of the number of times I’ve been almost flattened by a car trying to turn right at a busy intersection and literally not checking for pedestrians before hand. And then they look at me like I’m the asshole for trying to cross the road when I very clearly have the right of way. It’s bleak out here for those of us who use walking as a method of transportation!
