Reply to comment by [deleted] in Yale Student Pedestrian Struck by Temporary-Car7981

Breaking a minor law that was advocated for by industry shouldn't result in serious injury or death. Do Yalies have abysmal situational awareness? Yes. Should infrastructure also decrease the amount of times 2000lb moving objects have the potential to hit 120lb ones? Also yes.

Agreed so much. The infrastructure needs to discourage dangerous driving.

If the car wasn’t speeding and driven under intoxication, and doesn’t have time to react, it can be fully the pedestrian’s fault.

stand on a corner anywhere on campus and watch Yale students.. observe them.. so many staring down their their phones as they cross busy intersections totally oblivious to their surroundings. Unfortunately this is not unique to Yale.. you see it in other cities as well.
