Comment on Why? There is enough space on the parking lot
zloubida@lemmy.world 10 months agoIt’s always other’s fault, isn’t it? No, it’s not. They’re the drivers.
They drive a heavy machine, like you said, so they should act like it. Be responsible. Always double check. Be respectful and prudent.
Stop blocks are good things, sure, but their existence is not an excuse to park recklessly.

Stop blocks are like stop signs. They’re part of a proper system. They aren’t optional

They are. And even if it wasn’t the case, their lack is not an excuse; if an intersection has no clear priority sign, it doesn’t give drivers the right to pass as they want.

I doubt there are many non rural, non isolated 4 way intersections in all of western Europe or north America without a sign.
The point that you clearly cannot grasp is this: cars are unsafe, and hard to handle. Good design and especially focusing on separation are required for an orderly interface between cars and pedestrian spaces, even in Europe where as you say, the drivers are quite good.

I never said stop blocks are a bad thing. I just say that, if you don’t give a shit about others enough to just check if you correctly parked, you’re an asshole.
