[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drivers have a responsibility to obey the speed limit...

AND...

pedestrians who choose to walk in the street have a responsibility to watch for oncoming traffic...[/quote]

No, we don't.

Way to both sides everything, especially in the middle of a pandemic.[/quote]

This is a typo, correct. They are not actually arguing that the pedestrian does not need to watch for traffic while in the road????

I am the FIRST person to believe that pedestrians should use the roads as social distancing maneuver area. But the idea that I would not look both ways before jumping in the street or look at the traffic patters just seems insane. Protect yourself by being smart. Don't rely on a driver to see you stepping out between two parked cars. Darwin people.

I walk with my little one all the time and I constantly say, 'Look both ways and then cross'. I am not saying. 'It is COVID season, the rules do not apply, traffic has a moral obligation to stop for you.'[/quote]

I look both ways, because I want to reduce the chances of a driver running me over.

Nonetheless, drivers actually do have a moral obligation to stop for people, regardless of what the people may or may not have done. Both when there's a pandemic, and when there isn't a pandemic.[/quote]
