[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only risk is getting run over by a car. Super safe area otherwise.[/quote]

i think as a country we really need to recalibrate what we consider safe/unsafe.  A place where there is a meaningful risk that you could get hit / run over by a car should be considered an unsafe area.  Like - getting hit by a car is something that can easily kill you.[/quote]

How many people are getting hit by cars in East Bethesda? Yikes people. I was worried about residential burglary (because of being close to businesses and metro) or car break ins. Now you have me worried that cars will be plowing through stop signs onto sidewalks every other day. Is this really a serious thing? Like how many people are hit by cars each year in Bethesda?[/quote]

Actually having people hit by cars is very rare. I can think of maybe three or four in 20 years. But the neighborhood associations have been proactive about working with DOT MD and MoCo government to get better crossings on Wisconsin. [/quote]

Vehicle crashes generally speaking are the most common cause of death between ages 1-35 and have been substantially increasings since 2010. But yes, that part of Bethesda is being proactive. For example they put up barriers at Bethesda row to prevent drivers and have trails that are physically separated from roads. On the other hand, the rest of MoCo seems to be a thunderdome these days with speeding drivers.[/quote]
