Since covid, I’ve seen more traffic violations than ever before and have seen 1 traffic stop (literally). People drive fast, pass in the bike lane or in the street parking, rarely stop at stop signs, and do not yield to pedestrian crossing. In Indianapolis, the police budget is 1/3 of the entire city tax revenue, so how do we have safer streets?
:edit: shared link is 100 pedestrians were reported hit in August 2024
I’d love to see cops start enforcing the no-right-on-red signs, especially when drivers cut off pedestrians to do it. But half the time they’ve got blue line or other pseudo fascist stickers all over their gigantic trucks when they do it, so I’m not holding my breath.
Always interesting watching “back the blue” people breaking the laws, it’s as if they have a different reason to have that stance 🤔
