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?
There is a historic neighborhood in my city with narrow stone streets, it's got plenty of car traffic during the day. At night it's prime nightlife, streets filled with (inebriated) pedestrians. When the entitled drivers arrogantly drive there at night honking at pedestrians, they quickly find themselves booed, flipped off, covered in empty beer cups balanced on the hood. It's a beautiful sight to see people reclaim the streets.
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.
When I do drive, I follow the rules of the road exactly. People have commented on the fact that I actually come to a complete stop at stop signs, and didn't turn right in front of a crossing pedestrian.
