The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.
The US used to have a comprehensive rail network. Every single town had a train station. We already had the solution to this problem.
I live in a rail hub in the us. The city is nicknamed after it and train tracks literally run through the city center.
It would take me 6 hours to walk there.
Please tell me you’re exaggerating. I live in a small city and it only takes me maybe an hour to walk across town. If it’s taking you 6 hours, it’s not rural.
If it takes 6 hours to walk across your city it’s not rural. Your city needs comprehensive public transportation.
and what do you use to get to the train station?
how do you carry goods to that station? Does your train have a stop in every farm?
Wow you’re right there is a use case for a vehicle therefore it’s literally impossible to have public transit in rural areas, despite the fact that it already existed /s
it’s not like i don’t hate cars, i do. But i really can’t see how you’re going to convince “rurals” with that argument
good luck to you
We aren’t discussing tactics for convincing people of anything. We’re discussing facts. And the fact is there’s no reason public transit can’t work in rural areas as you stated.
