Higher vehicle hoods significantly increase pedestrian deaths, study finds

I just biked home and cars were in the bike lane for 90% of it. The plows pulled all the reflectors off the road and now drivers can't tell where the lanes are. Even though that entire lane is the dedicated right turn lane, they go in the bike lane. When we had snow a few days ago, pedestrians were in the road because the snow was plowed into the bike lane and sidewalk. Fuck 99.9% of US and Canadian infrastructure

The main downtown area where I live, that's supposed to be walkable, just has sidewalks vanish halfway down some streets so you end up walking in the street for a few blocks. It's so bad lol

In the US that is. In many other western countries, pedestrian infrastructure is awesome and advanced. On the other hand, they usually also don't have many of these trucks. Double whammy for US pedestrians.
