The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.

    and what do you use to get to the train station?

    how do you carry goods to that station? Does your train have a stop in every farm?

      Wow you’re right there is a use case for a vehicle therefore it’s literally impossible to have public transit in rural areas, despite the fact that it already existed /s

        it’s not like i don’t hate cars, i do. But i really can’t see how you’re going to convince “rurals” with that argument

        good luck to you

          We aren’t discussing tactics for convincing people of anything. We’re discussing facts. And the fact is there’s no reason public transit can’t work in rural areas as you stated.

            i’m not from the U.S.

            there’s a well established network of rails here and we can say that rail transport is the backbone of this country.

            yet people in rural areas still think that cars are essential just to survive ☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_vests_protests

            i may think otherwise, i can live without a car, but it’s condescending to tell them “there’s no reason public transit can’t work in rural areas”

            even those who commute by bike+train have cars because “public transit” isn’t a solution to all their needs.

              It may or may not be “condescending” to tell people they’re wrong, but it doesn’t make them right or change the basic facts.

              I’d recommend checking out a different community since you seem to be very invested in making excuses for pro car people, and less interested in challenging people’s assumptions about cars.

            That’s an opinion, you try living 10 miles out of town a mile up a private road when you are out of your prime. Tell is how a car is unreasonable, these are your personal opinions and this community specifically echos them. I can understand more public transport but it’s not a one size fits all, explain to me how a diesel bus that gets 3.5-6.5 mpg going 10 miles out of town for 3-6 people is more eco friendly then several people having much more fuel efficiency cars.

            A bus isn’t going to drive a mile up everyone’s private roads in the middle of nowhere, public transport is not a one size fits all, it can get people in town to other parts or other towns but it can’t replace cars for everyone
