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.

    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.
