It’s funny, kids aren’t getting run down in school zones in other places, we don’t let them run indiscriminately across the road. They’re taught to walk to a a crosswalk to cross the road.

In fact, lots of places ban school buses using flashing red lights inside urban areas since it’s more dangerous, it’s only allowed on rural roads.

Really? You’re actually going to defend this classist, corporate-astroturfing bullshit, the theft of the public street away from the People for the exclusive benefit of irresponsible drivers?

You’re arguing with a car brain lol, they lack the intelligence to understand.

It’s kind of hilarious how North Koreans live in this fucking insane societal bubble where they simultaneously think they’re the best nation in the world while living in complete shit conditions that would appall the rest of the developed world.

Kicking your kids out at 18, sending your elders to fucking abuse camps to die, can’t even afford to have a baby, let alone buy them a car or education. Don’t even think about housing or healthcare. Retirement? LOL. Cops can just fucking kill you at any time with no consequences.

Oh sorry typo, I meant Americans in that second paragraph.

Yeah and oddly enough this isn’t a problem where jaywalking is legal like the EU, so what point do you think that’s making here….?

What’s funny is that we have the same buying habits in Canada so maybe the issue isn’t trucks after all

Yeah no Americans would rather blame vehicles than take ownership for their own actions.

Yeah the amount of people who think the problem exists outside the US is astonishing.

Flashing red lights in urban areas is dangerous since people don’t follow the rules and it provides a false sense of security to the kids.

They’re literally lining the kids up and know people don’t follow the rules, it’s silly they haven’t thought to adjust the laws yet. Places in Canada did, decades ago.

Believe it or not, some people don’t bother to stop at a crosswalk if they can’t see anyone crossing.

Is that an issue? You can’t see the side of the road? Or a kid that’s already started crossing since you are well away…?

I’ve never heard of this issue before, got a source? Or are you just not paying attention to the road while driving…?

Mind you, we also have well established crosswalks that are lit up, and teach people to use them, so that’s probably why it’s not an issue here…? It seems like a uniquely US issue.
