Definitely hard to speculate without seeing it.
I never understand why motorists park their cars in bike lanes either, but I see a lot of that, too.

Sometimes there are potholes, debris, or even parked cars in the bike lanes. Sometimes the rider is positioning for a left turn or for proper movement through an intersection. Lots of possible reasons

So, if mothers transporting their children by bikes is gentrifying, what do they say about mothers who drive their kids everywhere?

New study perhaps, but people have been reporting this for years.

It’s because of the speed at which the bikes are moving, I think.

Another pedestrian killed in Asheville
YouTube video by WLOS News 13 Another pedestrian killed in Asheville

Another pedestrian killed in Asheville, and the police claim that more LE officers could have prevented it. This is a refusal to admit that the roads are deadly and need a redesign. Also, speed cameras are way more effective if you are trying to slow drivers. youtu.be/syF7Ym8GJb4

In recent years, USDOT has published many documents supporting automatic speed cameras, which consistently reduce crashes.

Under Trump, those docs are being rescinded or removed from USDOT's website.

Here's an example (rescinded May 25, apparently):

I was watching when someone asked if public comments on SPOT 7 changed any of the projects they submitted, and they said, “No.”

I have more questions about this crash, but looking at a map, crosswalks on this road are over a half mile apart. NCDOT builds roads deadly for walking. Automakers build deadly SUVs. In our contributory negligence state, I would find these guilty as well. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...
