    SUV, Truck, SUV, SUV, SUV, SUV, sedan, SUV, SUV, SUV, SUV.

    The culture problem around big vehicles we’ve created with bad regulation and aggressive marketing is depressing.

    Who would use this? Wouldn’t you either walk on the grass or clearly in the middle of the street?

      This is an American suburban. The petite burgerosie living in those houses would shoot your or call the cops to shoot you for walking on their lawns, or run you over with a Ford F 69,000 turbo jumbulator hepta-cab ultra-pickup if you walked in the street.

      (this might not be an American suburb. It’s hard to tell. All suburbs exist in a discrete liminal hell dimension)

    gulag

    I don’t care that the GULAG shut down in 1960.

    We’re opening it up again.

    And we’re putting the monster that came up with this in there, in time out, so they can think about what they did.

    if lines can keep out sea bears, obviously they can keep out these pesky pedestrians from getting in front of my SUV!

    The presence of the paint makes this nightmare area more walkable than plenty of places in the Failed States of America. I once had the misfortune of living in a place where the presence (or much more often, absence) of sidewalk was completely up to the owner of the property the stretch of road in question abutted. The rare property owner who chose to add sidewalk created a completely useless, disconnected decoration.

      There’s a storage unit near my neighborhood built on a stroad without a sidewalk, they built a sidewalk that stretches only within the bounds of the storage property.

      On that regard: Storage units and hotels are so weird because if they get built in the suburbs no one will bat an eye (despite their density). But if its an apartment complex people lose their minds.

    If you are walking you’re either poor or up to no good, in both cases we don’t want you around these parts. Oh, your kids need to walk? Don’t be lazy and DRIVE them where they need to go!

      Don’t be lazy and DRIVE

      For the briefest of moments I felt a spark of blinding hot rage in my heart. Now I am left with the lingering feeling of wanting to smash my head against a rock.

      Thank you for that experience.

    Fake or not in the US? It definitely looks like standard USA fare, but this is not a pedestrian symbol I’ve ever seen
