A sign which was put there for cars. Worried for our safety? Safety from what? Some asshole in a 6000 pound child crusher maybe? No, not our safety. They pass within inches of us at 40mph because they can&#39;t wait a few seconds for the lane to clear. They are jealous because they paid more money for slower transportation in the city. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FuckCars</span></a></p>
