Hi all,
Since lockdown I’ve noticed a huge amount of people walking on main roads presumably to walk to different areas to exercise when we weren’t meant to take our cars (personally I would find it safer to drive than walk miles or just stay where you live in the first place). It didn’t seem too bad at first as there was considerably less traffic on the road and safer so not too bad.
But with people going back to work and being able to drive to exercise there is a lot of cars on the road yet people are still walking.
I’m not really moaning about them. I slow down for pedestrians no problem but I know that not all car drivers are so sensible.
Still going to work so using the car and going shopping. I live near a busy a road and people are walking along it with their children on bikes and scooters when they clearly aren’t used to it willing all over the road. It gives me palpitations thinking about it being the overly anxious person I am.
The roads near me are quite windy too and visibility isn’t always great.
Aibu to think people should be encouraged not to walk alongside busy roads? None of them seem to be wearing hi-viz or taking any notice to cars. Some just ignore that there’s a car and carry on walking like we aren’t there!
Today I passed a large group of adults and children (they are also local and don’t come from the same house which is another matter).
I just feel kids shouldn’t be walking along the main road for their own safety!
