Greetings from Athens, Greece,
A city with no sidewalks, no bicycle routes, lots of car traffic everywhere and awful public transport.
I was walking with my sister today and she found me walking in the middle of the street dangerous. So, I explained that this is my way of fucking with drivers. They have to slow down and wait for me to make way for them to pass me.
I usually do this in the neighbourhood streets where drivers usually are not speeding, so I will be able to dodge them in time if I need to.
All this discussion got me wondering what else I could be doing.
I was wondering what other methods people are employing. So, how are you fucking cars? Are you organized? Are you a rogue individual?
I push the crossing button to force the red light for cars, even when I don’t need to cross.
My favorite part of daily walking / train / bike share commute is using a particular mid block crosswalk with flashing lights to stop 4 lanes of traffic at rush hour.
It’s like walking on red carpet
Great idea!! I love how unnecessary it is, I will start doing it!!
