Blows my mind

This is a picture of Tucson’s street. It is pretty grim.

Well what I didn’t know is that we are the third deadliest  metro in the United States for pedestrians. There have been 70% of Tucson’s pedestrian deaths in the last decade, have happened in the last five years. There has been 32 fatalities in counting this year already. That is a lot.

I can’t tell you how many times I have almost hit someone in the roadway. It is scary. People cross the street without being in a crosswalk all the time. Sometimes, they don’t look and that is how they get hit by drivers.

In conclusion- pedestrian deaths have climbed rapidly in Tucson. Already, we have had 32 deaths and the year is far from over. Hopefully, people will be more cautious. I don’t know if the pandemic has something to do with it, but that is when it started getting bad. I think it is more carelessness. Memphis and Albuquerque are number 1 and 2 for the deadliest metro for pedestrians. Thank you for reading.

  1. I think running down pedestrians ~ or causing pedestrians to be run down ~ is becoming an anarchist thing. There are all kinds of ways to do it. Release a live animal, squirt blinding gas into the car, use EMP to mess with its power systems (steering and braking included).

    1. I’m sorry about your astigmatism. Hopefully you are wearing contacts lenses or glasses that repair this concern. I have double vision because my iris’s don’t like up correctly in both eyes because of my injury. So I know what you mean sort of. I wear glasses 🤓.
