The driving infrastructure is in place and it’s hostile to pedestrians (and many others). People can act all smug about what should and shouldn’t be all the way into the grave.

We can either take reasonable steps and vote in parties who’ll improve the infrastructure or we can take unreasonable steps such as tactical urbanism where we dig pot holes and leave shit on the road to deter drivers.

I walk early in the morning wearing all black. I am aware that I’m effectively invisible to cars. I drive too. That’s neither of our faults so I make efforts not to be hit by cars. Cars have been told that they’re allowed to drive at a given speed (60km/h) and have no reason to expect to lookout for my black clad arse on the road.
