I am inner northeast.

Rarely a day goes by that I get across the street outside my house without putting myself directly in the path of a vehicle to get the driver to actually stop.

On some extra special days they even cross into the opposing lane to pass me even though I'm already walking across the street.

Despite some investment in basic bike lanes a couple decades ago, this city is still pretty car-centric and drivers don't seem any less entitled here to me. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I suppose I can believe things are better downtown and near there, because there's little reason to go there unless you live or work there.

Edit: I mean as opposed to many roads on the east side that are used as through streets to get to other places, rather than only for local access.

@apparentlymart @notjustbikes Ah, yeah perhaps that area gets more risky through traffic…people think they can barrel down some neighborhood streets the same way they would on MLK. Bummer.

I've had better luck in SE and yes, downtown.
