my dad always said: walk facing toward traffic, and make eye contact with drivers, so they can be haunted by your face for the rest of their lives if they run you over.
Or you could just use the sidewalk?
A lot of the places I lived growing up didn't have sidewalks.
Rural roads man.
90% of the streets in my neighborhood don’t have sidewalks and I live in a major city. Exactly half of one side of my block has a sidewalk
Unfortunately, you probably live in a formerly red lined area. This is a vestige of the past institutional racism from your city. But setting that aside, I was referring to the actual sidewalk present in the photo
Nope
One example: 47°42'58.8"N 122°18'21.3"W
no, it's not redlining, these are the neighborhoods redlining was keeping black people out of.
cute attempt at whatever that was tho.
I'm aware, but in this exact picture, there is a sidewalk.
