It's not, but I usually figure it out by the sixth read. I guess this time, it sailed right over my head time and time again...In all seriousness, I almost got hit by a car yesterday, turning left from the 2nd lane from the left curb (on 1st Avenue at 59th Street) after I deliberately maneuvered my bike between the left turn lane and the straight lane to not be in the path of left turns (and to line up with the bike lane on the other end of the intersection). He definitely did not brake for me. As for pedestrians being aware of their surroundings. It's not the responsibility of a pedestrian to be watching for a non-yielding driver. A good idea? Yes, but drivers have the utmost responsibility to not make illegal maneuvers that may injure or kill people. Something that seems lost on a fair amount of drivers in the Northeast. |
