Unapologetic safety vigilante/random cat appreciator.

Fun fact: You're more likely to die from not riding a bicycle at all than from riding one sans helmet.

Used to see this van parked near NE 7th and Tillamook on a daily basis. Haven't laid eyes on it in years. Kinda worried this unicorn is no longer out there reminding everyone how unoriginal they most likely are.

Oh, your white model 3 can make fart sounds? I stand corrected.

What's 'terrible' are those Tesla car carriers perpetually fucking up everyone's commute down there at SE 4th and Division.

Go ahead and keep blocking the Springwater Corridor and that bi-directional bike lane. Not that I need an excuse to get creative.

Infrastructure has been color-coded for quite some time. A dead-stupid/easy way to tell you and your multiton climate arson accessory doesn't belong is if there happens to be solid color under your wheels.

Also: 'NO TURN ON RED' is apparently far too ambiguous of an ordinance.

How shitty/not shitty of a driver you legitimately are will be laid bare by how you respond when witnessing someone engaging in an activity that is only as dangerous as drivers, culpable officials, and knuckle-dragging traffic engineers choose to make it.

Normalize. This. Shit.

The bodega near my house has snow tires, ladies' dress shoes, and sourdough yeast starter kits, for example. Every time I go in there I find something I never would have expected. It's like a grocery store and pawn shop all rolled into one.

In other words: Perfect

And yet a 'safety vigilante-installed' marked crosswalk near a daycare will be sandblasted into oblivion within 24 hours, regardless of the cost. Especially if it was working.

Why are drivers so good at ruining everything?

nhtsagov estimates the annual economic cost of US traffic violence at $2.3 trillion (as of 2020).

This includes:

Medical costs
Loss of productivity
Property damage
Administrative costs
Other societal costs

Is this level of ' ' even remotely sustainable?

Recently watched someone in an orange Jeep Renegade attempt to flee the scene after crashing into a parked car. Even after plowing into the vehicle, they refused to put their phone down like it was glued to their hand!

Thankfully they left their bumper and license plate behind.

There's no way of 'intimidating' Portland drives into not driving like belligerent toddlers. An expanded traffic division (read 'reactivated') means nothing if they are still choosing to ignore all but the most gun-toting of offenders.

Every red light/speed camera scheme differs depending on location. Some cities exclusively use the funds collected through violations to buy and maintain more cameras, while others do something else.

A 'three-strike' license suspension system is indeed a great idea.

An estimated 2.7 million people suffer life-altering injuries every year in the US due to traffic violence. Of these, approximately 245,000 are classified as 'incapacitating' where the brain, spinal cord, and internal organs have been permanently damaged.
