  • I’m an urbanist, I mostly cycle, and I’m probably more aware of pedestrians/cyclists than most.

    When I lived in Montréal, I would drive at or below speed limits, and always stopped for pedestrians. Not that I live in Ontario, I’m regularly find myself driving 15-20kph over the limit, and regularly failing to identify, react, or stop for pedestrians in time. Same with my wife.

    I don’t buy that NA drivers are wholesale worse. We’re drastically underestimating the impact of the built environment on how we drive.
