@jerry You seem in a good mood today <3

@jerry simple fast pedestrians simply run in front of 80mph cars and stop mid way.

@jerry In the US there are no fast pedestrians.

(I hate stereotypes, but for the sake of shitposting exceptions must be made)

I'll get me coat.

@jerry Assuming they're faster than the cars, they can cross anywhere.

@jerry the village where my Dad lived in the UK had a warning sign at its entrance that said “Slow Children” which I always thought was a bit harsh.

@jerry I'm more worried about the Slow Children

@jerry

fast pedestrians don't need crossings. they jaywalk. ;)

@jerry like neutrinos, fast pedestrians are constantly crossing everywhere at all times without being observed

@jerry Town I used to live had a rather infamous school with a "slow children at play" sign everyone joked was very apt given the school

@jjesse @jerry Growing up, I always wondered about the neighborhoods that had signs informing us of their SLOW CHILDREN. Here’s an idea: since the US Adult Literacy level is so low, maybe we should adopt international signage without all those words on it.

@bhawthorne @jerry Should I slow down due to children? (Speed limit is 25 mph in neighborhoods in MI) or are the children "slow" and I should watch out for them.

@jjesse @bhawthorne 🤔 I’ve long wondered why, if we need to slow down below the 25mph speed limit for kids, they don’t lower the speed limit.

@jerry @jjesse They are starting to do just that in some cities Europe. We need to return to building transit infrastructure for people instead of for auto manufacturers.
