Speed run the pipeline all the way to Brown's Island, when the water level is just high enough to cover the pipe at the end?

Idk about you but Ive seen a lot of people run reds here

Jaywalking doesn't exist. It was literally created by the automobile industry. https://www.vox.com/2015/1/15/7551873/jaywalking-history

Yea that would make sense. It’s sad to say but I feel like a lot of people who would like to walk have just given up on braving these intersections for fear of getting killed or seriously maimed.

Super curious (not trying to be antagonistic), but where else have you lived?

Strong Towns recently has an article about the corners at intersections. How they’re large and curved to help cars turn, but this 1) encourages speeding 2) reduces space for pedestrians. Bump outs to forcibly reduce speed at turns would be an effective (yet controversial) solution for accidents caused by right turns

It’s possible that south side just wasn’t included in the stats, but it’s also nowhere near as densely populated or trafficked as VCU or the bottom

be a woman and walk alone at night

That's crazy and definitely not the norm.

I guess the high housing prices don't really reflect this statement.

You’re being a hit hyperbolic don’t you think? I’ve seen drivers who don’t have a care in the world but seeing people run red lights casually is still fairly rare

I really expected the first answer to be about the Lombardy Kroger.

I can’t stand when people don’t yield to pedestrians while making a right turn. The amount of times I’ve almost been run over at Broad / Belvidere

I’ll have to check that out

I got some hate for this last time, but I don’t understand the need to have every minor road outlet onto the big b streets. Turn some of them into no outlet, with that part of the road becoming a park or parking lot.

All these little nowhere streets are such a waste of land.

I don't know if they're doing it again this year but the Richmond SPCA organized a "rappel down a building" fundraising event last year.

Oh ya know, they put a big mirror there so the pedestrians and cars can see each other so problem solved!

/s

And then on the other side of the coin it causes long backs down Broad and causes frustration, swerving in and out, and cutting off drivers ahead who are trying to slow down and stop to let pedestrians cross. VCU has plenty of fucking money they can and should build a pedestrian overpass or tunnel and work with the City and VDOT (who are literally across the street looking at this) on a viable solution…yesterday.

And Roanoke & Midlo there is an accident there every week

You could date my ex-wife.

RVA Paddlesports. Kayak instruction, rafting etc.

Perhaps they don’t involve pedestrians? That’s what this data is referring to

Thank you for your activism.
