It sucks, and without knowing the circumstances I’d at least partially blame the driver. Someone driving 60km and paying attention should never hit a pedestrian. People should be driving to suit the conditions of the road, and if a person is hanging out near the side of the road cars should reduce their speed. But unfortunately common sense is lacking in some individuals, and I have no good solution for that. At least in your case they implemented the change as a reaction to a real problem.

In my city pedestrians are being hit at roundabouts, not on straight 4 lane roads with great visibility on both sides.

Friend don’t worry, I have coworkers who’ve moved back with their parents because rent is crazy right now and it was the best move financially - not pathetic at all. Use the time to work on yourself and try not to let your parents drive you nuts.

Nah, I’m someone who hates speed cameras and I’d welcome some narrowing or weaving roads. Lowering the speed on a 60km to 40 km and sticking a speed camera on it makes everyone feel like they’re being micromanaged by some new incompetent manager. If they want to lower speed limits, change the design of the road to match.

We’re number 1!
