If you're talking about the corner I am thinking of, it's only going to get worse if they succeed in making that a one-way street.

Ugh. That's so scary. We just need an ounce of enforcement on aggressive drivers and we'd get such better driving from everyone.

They're unhinged and ignorant. I have argued with several who have gotten out of their cars, threatened me, and still believed that they had the right of way the entire time.
Clearly if they have they have the ability to stop and argue for several minutes, then they aren't in the hurry they think they are.

yes, Our orders stop 2/26 and delivery comes in march :) each council in NJ has different dates this year to avoid shortages that they had last year from the bakery that makes the cookies :)

Is March when they start selling over here? I’m from the south and usually I see them in January/February

People here don’t know how to stop at cross walks to let people cross but people here also don’t know how to use cross walks cause the try to cross when it says don’t cross or they try to cross in the middle of the street instead of using the cross walk!!

No. They needed to have parents doing that. It implies the parents knew better and tried to educate their kids, but somewhere on the way they failed.
I would risk saying people who drive like this even had examples inside their homes of people driving likewise. It's an endless circle.

None of which went to schools, for almost 30 years.

I stopped caring when I cross the streets anymore, especially after a long day of work. If they want to run me over when I have the right of way to walk while there's cameras filming everywhere. See them in court.

Someone nearly hit us crossing Marin at Montgomery. The driver wasn’t going fast, but I surprised my husband by kicking the back of the car. Driver stopped and started to get out of his car, but people in the cross walk told him to fuck off.

I've been at 4 way intersections where people thought it was first come first serve. Like if 10 cars were on your right when you got to the stop you let them all go.

It’s not entirely their fault. The bmw turn singles suck and it’s hard to tell when your turn signal is activated, it’s also really hard to see out of them.

Wow I had no idea Texas was so good about that sort of stuff. That’s even more surprising than California.

Yeah the sad part is it’s the city with the second lowest rate of car ownership and still an awful place to be a pedestrian/not in a car.

Parking enforcement used to be much more aggressive before the pandemic. They really slacked off and have somehow gotten lazier with the reduction in alternate street-side parking.
Traffic enforcement by the police has been shit for as long as I can remember.

Yup. Just to add, whenever I stop for pedestrians/cyclists, I get honked from behind. Like, dude, do you want me to run over someone so you can reach the next traffic light 5 seconds earlier?

Whenever someone pulls bullshit with me, like almost hitting me at an intersection (thankfully, none of them have subsequently threatened me, although I have been "tapped" once on a run) is just to immediately take my phone out and take pictures of the person and the license plate. That turns them apologetic really quickly.
