That’s really cool, almost like when a guide tells you: “get ready, prime target zone ahead.”

Oh man.

I’m not even a lawyer, and I bet I could make a 50 million dollar damage case stick, based on those photos alone - first time a pedestrian gets clobbered.

Maybe 100 million.

Why don’t they tell the bike riders to look both ways and watch out?

There is a far more effective and less disorienting approach. Paint thick lines that serve as rumble strips. They become closer spaced as they approach the curve or other area.

Because they get closer together, the sound speeds up, making drivers feel like they are speeding up. Most people will slow down without even thinking about it.

Bike riders are a scourge on society.

People prone to seizures don't get to drive.

And when they do something stupid that gets them hit by a car its always the driver fault not the bike rider.
