Stupid Suburbanites

This man died on Tuesday after being struck by a car.  It happened too close for comfort to my home.  I’m not shocked that it happened though.  When I go on my walks, blades or bike rides I have had a lot of trouble crossing the roads due to cars not stopping like they should.

 

I would assume that the people in the area are not used to watching out for pedestrians. It’s a shame really.  In order for me to stay on any path in my area I have to cross two busy streets.  I have been nearly hit myself due to some jerk not stopping in front of the cross walk.

 

When I walk to the same Cub Foods I have to cross over a major highway.  This intersection is the absolute worst.  Most times I have to wait through two crossings because someone always seems to run the light.

 

My heart goes out to the family of this man.  I’m sorry for your loss.
