JC is kind of 3rd world in that way. Cars rule and pedestrians be damned. Constantly dodging double parked cars that think it’s just fine to block an entire lane just because they are delivering fast food! How does a city become pedestrian friendly… and not just in a lip service manner?

Yeah the only thing I know to compare us to is my time in Turkey. Most of the time in Istanbul, you just assume you’re taking your life into your own hands when you cross the street, they’re treated like a freight train.

I’ve been saying this for years. I believe the 3rd world comment is accurate in the sense that there are so many different driving styles worldwide and the diversity here brings it all to one road system. It’s like slow drivers in the left lane - in many countries the left lane is the slow lane. I real think it’s a battle of driving cultures and pedestrians colliding - no pun!

It’s a game of frogger …. 🐸🚌🚌🐸🚌✌️
