No crosswalk, no intersection, what was the pedestrian doing in the road? Driver should not face any charges unless they con show the driver swerving TO hit the pedestrian!
Bike lanes are for bikes traveling in the direction of motor traffic. They have no bearing on pedestrian behavior. If you have a problem with bike lanes, write something cogent about it and send it to SBYNews. Otherwise, you're pointlessly wasting everyone's time.
When I was a trooper, decades ago, I would ticket cyclists for running a red light or stop sign, for riding on the wrong side of the road. Really pissed the offender off, but hey, a bike is a vehicle and the vehicle laws apply to bicyclists.

You are correct. I do not see any crosswalk there so no one should be crossing the street there. Maybe he will live long enough to remember that and let this be a learning experience for others who may want to jaywalk.
The law states that you MUST stop for pedestrians within a crosswalk. It DOES NOT state you need to stop so pedestrians can enter a crosswalk. That's what they expect. And, they NEVER look both ways. They don't always cross at the crosswalks.
Not only do these stupid bicycles run red lights and stop signs. I see a lot of them riding in the wrong direction. They ride their bikes against traffic. Pedestrians walking should walk against traffic. But Bikes are suppose to be going the direction as the traffic and obey the lights and stop signs.
I heard there is another Cookout planned on RT 50 East - going next to the Royal Farms near Wor-Wic. This should be a really great asset to residents on the East side of town.
Places were bike Lanes are being placed in Salisbury are INSANE !! These Must be REMOVED as they Endanger Both the Bikers & Motor Traffic.
Some idiots with no common sense placed these were they are
i.e rt 13 in Pic in front of college / rt 50 in front of Main post office, were motor traffic MUST cross over the bike lanes to get were they are going......DUGH !!!
Might be because that stupid ass bike lane thats obviously going to be someones death trap

ReplyDeleteNo, morons that think they can take up a whole lane on a bike as a motor vehicle and then blow through red lights and stop signs are a real problem!
