Have they seen Bainbridge and Hull or any intersection on Semmes Ave.? This is one map I'm happy to see the southside left off of but def skeptical as to how none of these are listed as some of the worst intersections.

Man, all of main St in the bottom is terrifying as a pedestrian. I would have thought 21st would be worse though, I’ve seen a ton of cars flipped after being hit there

Will never work here. Drivers simply do not care and don't stop unless they feel like it.
You'd need a massive concrete wall to automatically erect on each side of the crosswalk. Even then, cars will just smash into it and then get mad at the pedestrians.

Well, you can hold your breath on the idea that Americans will spend more money on criminals. If we aren’t willing to provide access to affordable healthcare to our citizens, then I can guarantee that we aren’t going to spend more money on the ppl that break laws. They aren’t what I’d consider a top priority.

I'm considering filming each time I cross at Roseneath/Broad. I've almost been flattened multiple times by inattentive turners.

What an indictment of the system. Complete joke. No, it's not sufficient. Why? Because he still took the weapon without permission and used it to kill someone.

Same. There seem to be an awful lot of injuries from pedestrian involved crashes on Midlothian Turnpike between Westover Hills/Belt and Chippenham…

Every intersection on Semmes Ave should be included. There’s basically an accident every 2 days

They got those random ass ped crossings in between lights on broad. Are cars supposed to stop for those? NONE of them do. It would be unwise for a pedestrian to assume cars stop at those. What's the deal?!

Same I have zero interest in ever working in an office again. It would take a ridiculous pay raise to consider it.

Do it! With live monologue!
Seriously I think lawmakers need some firsthand experience walking through parts of this city. Just take one look at what the rest of us deal with everyday

Agree. Fewer or no car should be the goal tbh
