Denver wants to end traffic fatalities by 2030, but it's going nowhere fast to make that deadline.
Denver has some of the worst drivers ever.Folks out here using hit and run as insurance.The voters getting what they voted for.No driver's education requirement for decades, a culture of massive SUVs with no spacial awareness, tinted windshields, traffic patterns and signage from the '70s, and zero traffic law enforcement.
I've seen idiots on bicycles riding down 13th or up 14th Avenue in Capitol Hill...even though 12th Avenue, a block or two over, has bike lanes and very little traffic. A few times these same idiots either cause cars to sideswipe other cars, moving or parked, because the bicyclist swerved out towards traffic. I've never seen one of those bicyclists even stop, even though they caused an accident. I've even seen a few hit parked cars.
If you're on foot, a skateboard or a bicycle: Unplug the earbuds, put away your phone and develop some situational awareness of your surroundings before you fatally become a speed bump or hood ornament. If you're in a vehicle, then watch out for the non-motorized. What areas of Denver do you think are the most dangerous? Is it the street layout? The drivers? The bicyclists? The pedestrians?
