    - Fahrradfahrer unter Auto geraten
    - Füßgängerin von LKW erfasst

    Als gebe es keine Fahrzeugführer, die das zu verantworten hätten.

    Wenn man die Geschichte zu #jaywalking recherchiert, merkt man, dass das schon sehr lange Methode hat.

    Die Straße gehört den Autofahrenden, sonst niemandem!

  5. 🚇 On this day in 1897, the first subway in North America opened in Boston.

    125+ years later and U.S. public transit has barely taken a single mile forward.
    Still underfunded. Still car-brained. Still treating walkers like trespassers.

    Speaking of...
    Here’s a piece on how jaywalking was invented to criminalize walking:

  6. so the term "jaywalking" was apparently invented by the car industry... mhh it's crazy how much in our lives is formed by cars and their industry... youtube.com/shorts/6W_s3VPMdNs #cars #walking #urbanplanning #jaywalking

    Imagine if someone discovered “car culture” for the first time and was expecting to walk outside where people were trying to travel in their vehicles

    #TrevorNoah might be today years old when he discovered the double standards of #carculture

    “Looking behind you” is exactly “how looking works”, when situational awareness is an expectation before walking in the middle of a road …

    … Jaywalking?

  8. auch 2025 das gleiche Bild auf der Fahrradmesse #CyclingWorld.
    Irgendwo im Eck steht wieder ein Polizei-Auto, diesmal allerdings offenbar ohne Personal. Dafür ein Schild mit Bekleidungstipps ("Prävention", na klar) und #Jaywalking Hinweis.
    Typisch Polizei - sie können und wollen ganz offensichtlich nur reines #Victimblaming. :-\

  10. Have you ever wondered why #jaywalking is a #crime?

    Jaywalking is a pedestrian interfering with #car #traffic. Outside. In the general world in which everyone mobile should have the right to move freely.

    The #automobile #industry lobbied invested politicians to make #pedestrians criminals for going from A to B in the late 1910s (initially, cars & walkers were meant to co-exist on the #road).

    I can't wait to see the lobbying by the #autonomous car industry concerning walkers & #cyclists...

  12. Bonne nouvelle pour les new-yorkais pressés : traverser n'importe où dans la rue n'est plus un crime !
    (Parce que, oui, vous l'ignoriez surement, mais c'était passible d'une amende jusqu'à il y a peu 😱)

  15. No! It isn't a real term - yet. And Yes! I just made it up!

    When normal people do natural things that upset the profits of ultra-capitalists, you get hit with nasty, incriminating and demeaning terms like and . But when those same uber-rich use tech to squeeze every penny out of you without providing any extra value by locking down devices with tech, those draconian measures get downplayed under innocuous sounding terms like ?

  16. Huh, jaywalking is still illegal in #NYC?

    "Police hand down few fines for jaywalking, but more than 90 percent of them go to Black and Hispanic New Yorkers, said the sponsor behind the Council bill."

  18. disproportionately cited people of color for ‘#jaywalking’ in 2023, mirroring racist enforcement nationwide

    > “Walking while Black” laws, first created in California in 1925 as a safety measure and lobbied by the automobile industry, are controversial due to racist enforcement and because they shame pedestrians while giving more protections to cars on the road

  20. @Reinald @MajBent @natenom naja, tägliches "Brainwashing", z.B. durch omnipräsente Auto-Werbung, wirkt irgendwann.
    Und dann gibt es natürlich noch explizite Kampagnen der Automobil-Lobby, Stichwort #jaywalking.

  21. Nadine Arslanian Menendez, the wife and co-defendant of recently indicted Sen. Robert Menendez, struck and killed a man while driving in New Jersey in 2018.

    The Record and The New York Times, citing police reports and police dash cam video, reported that Nadine Menendez, who was dating the senator at the time, was found by police in the small borough of Bogota to be “not at fault” in the crash in the because the victim, Richard Koop, was #jaywalking.

  22. Iminumungkahi ng MMDA na itaas ang multa para sa mga jaywalker sa EDSA at C5 dahil sa mataas na kaso ng nasasagasaang pedestrian.

    Sang-ayon ka ba rito?

    Ipadala ang inyong sagot at paliwanag sa pamamagitan ng selfie video at i-send sa aming official Facebook page na Bayan Mo, Ipatrol Mo.

  23. These jaywalkers are really getting out of control - second morning this week.

  24. Wenn Du als Fußgänger in der Rushhour einfach grundsätzlich nicht mehr die Straße überqueren darfst, dann bist Du im Land, das #jaywalking erfunden hat. #USA #hawaii #CarDepedent

  25. The #coronavirus forced Americans to #rethink foundational parts of society, from work to school to housing.

    Now, with emergency declarations expiring, they’re considering the shifts that should and shouldn’t last.

    Over the last year alone, major U.S. cities doubled-down on plans to restrict #driving on main streets.

    Municipalities from Michigan to Washington, D.C., banned right #turns at red lights.

    Voters earmarked billions for #public #transit projects.

    Officials unveiled hundreds of miles of new #bike #lanes.

    New York City proposed a new #tax on motorists, and California relaxed #jaywalking restrictions and freed up land once reserved for #parking spaces.

    Taken together, experts and activists say, these developments amount to a watershed moment in the debate over who has the right to huge swaths of #public #space.

  26. Power to the pedestrians! "Jaywalking" was an invented crime to begin with, at the behest of auto makers, and always had a disproportionate impact on historically marginalized people.

    California left that in the rearview mirror as of January 1st! calbike.org/freedom-to-walk-be

  27. @scott I was *today* years old when I learned the true scope of "#jaywalking" in the US. #gobsmacked

  28. Phil Ting's #FreedomToWalk Act is now law in California. You can cross the street anywhere as long as you're not creating a hazard.

    #Jaywalking, the fake "crime" created by automobile industry lobbying to blame victims of #TrafficViolence, no longer exists in California.

    Enjoy your freedom to walk! ktla.com/news/california/new-l

  29. I once got a #jaywalking ticket in LA, when I was at USC. Campus was separated from restaurants by a 1/4-mile stretch of road w crosswalks at each end. My friend had broken his leg & was on crutches so we crossed in middle. Cop gave me $110 ticket & I actually went to court to fight on principle. I prepped a 3-page statement. Judge wouldn't let me read it, but cut fine in 1/2 if I "promised not to do it again"
