Imagine someone trying to claim to be pro-pedestrian and fuck-cars and yet claiming crosswalks are “pedestrian spaces”. What are you, a car company lobbyists? Not just one, but two, lol
“Sure, we believe in pedestrian spaces” - proceeds to slap white stripes on an eight car lane street with narrow one meter sidewalks.
Although I do love to hate on a lot of the single-mindedness of this sub, I’ll do the guys in it a favor and assume this argument is an outlier. Otherwise, it’s just embarrassing.
Crosswalks are literally the intersection of pedestrian spaces and motorized spaces. It doesn’t matter what facilities they’re provided with, it’s a place where automobiles operate in the same space as pedestrians all the time.
I’m sorry, but your mental gymnastics are just embarrassing. If you are going to be snarky, have better, more relevant arguments. Gotta love how you put “all the time” in italics, as if that’s some specially strong point. Hopefully no one takes it to heart and tries to cross them when the traffic lights don’t allow them to.
The whole point of crosswalks is that their use isn’t supposed to overlap between pedestrians and cars. You will literally fail your driving exam if your “automobile operates in the same space as pedestrians” on a crosswalk. I feel silly just pointing out the obvious.
