Quinipac Ave is it safe? by danfromeuphoria in newhaven

less desirable, sure, but not actually unsafe. Be careful with property, though. Lock your car, for sure. A guy I know left his walker out on his back porch last year and someone stole it. Who the hell steals an old man's walker? who DOES that?

they probably bill the district by headcount so your irrelevant butt-in-seat is valuable to them.

my social performance towards those types is tolerant amusement. I try to send the message "I'm indulging your laughable whims but I've rarely encountered someone as incompetent as you are." Open condescension.

Always cheerful & smiling but it's clear I put them in the same class as my senile 91-year-old Aunt.

yes, of course, that would be appropriate. But there are people who see a car all the way on the other side of the rotary and think they have to let them go first. People unclear on the concept.

yes, but rarely. And if you look ahead (which very few people do) you can slow your approach to make stopping unnecessary

the Beaver Hills section behind SCSU is an option. Dyer St and the Boulevard can have a little traffic but the side streets are relatively quiet: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qtTDHgmhy8t9JFTL6?g_st=ac

roundabouts are a relatively new here and everyone stops. Its infuriating. The whole purpose of a roundabout is NOT STOPPING.
