The law states that a crosswalk exists at EVERY intersection whether it is painted or not. Screw the drivers that obviously don’t give a shit about anyone else and are in such a “rush” that they can’t stop at a legal crossing?? I have to walk across the south side crossing of Charles and Agricola multiple times per day and at least once or twice I get yelled at by drivers. Hearing “Get the fuck out of the way bitch” or simply just being almost run over is not funny. It’s dangerous and disrespectful and devoid of any human decency. Also taxi drivers? You of all drivers should know better. —Pissed Pedestrian

would the next person who uses the word ‘disrespectful’ please spontaneously combust
GDM, I find it annoying too but there’s no reason to be disrespectful aboutlaldkanalsdvnqa
If you are crossing Agricola at Charles on the South side of the intersection then you are jaywalking. No, it isnt an implied cross walk…that applies stop signs ONLY my entitled friend. You see any stops signs on Agricola? NO? Thats because there arent any. You are the one in the wrong as far as the law goes and thats why you get yelled at Einstein. But Im sure you’ll find some personal attack on me because you wont acknowledge you’re in the wrong and the law states that. Walk in front of car there and if you get hit, the driver wont even get a ticket for putting you in the morgue.
Michael you dumb ass. I obviously called the city and asked them what the deal was. So yeah you stupid idiot shut the fuck up and learn the rules of the fucking road!!!!!!!
Here is the quote from the city’s website you dick.
Types of Crosswalks
Unmarked Crosswalks – Provincial legislation
indicates that there is a legal crosswalk at every
intersection, regardless of whether it is marked
with paint or signs. Pedestrians still have the right
of way when lawfully within these crosswalks.
So who now needs to learn the rules? Oh and here is the website asshole.
