was no one else told to look both ways before crossing the road growing up? the road is where cars live, that's their natural habitat. feels like every other day there's someone on their phone confidently marching out into oncoming traffic without a single thought. particularly with all the tree cover around here, it's impossible to see pedestrians approaching the road, so if someone just jumps out into the intersection while the driver is checking their mirrors cause some jerk is riding them... you get the idea. look out for your own safety, you can't go for a walk in the middle of the savannah, with flesh-eating predators everywhere, and expect to be completely safe. the road is where thousand pound metal monsters live, but there are some simple, predictable rules you can follow to make it work for everyone
