The drivers here in DC really don’t care about pedestrians. I always am just glad I made it to the sidewalk. Im tired of…

  • cars blocking the crosswalk when there is a redlight (like youre not going anywhere anyways)
  • cars rolling into stop signs. Please do a complete stop
  • cars cant wait to turn left while pedestrians are crossing so when they can, they literally turn so close to your body
  • drivers blaming pedestrians when they obviously fucked up
  • cars not slowing down until the very last minute
  • as a walker, I’ve seen plenty of drivers on their phones. This is DANGEROUS.

I moved from a traffic heavy area where driving sucks, but i personally think it’s worse here because it seems as if drivers are just aggressive and have literally no clue pedestrians have the right of way (and even when they dont, the cars need to stop). There’s just not enough safe drivers out here and good practices in DC.
