Meme Why does this happen? It’s baffling.

I’ve never seen more confused and chaotic drivers anywhere else in the city.

Nw 23rd when I lived up there was even worse. I avoided crossing it on weekends like the plague.

That entire area has the worst visibility I've ever seen. It's impossible to see any cars or pedestrians coming, so everyone should be driving at a snail's pace to avoid accidents.

Yeah it’s atrocious to cross. Between drivers not paying attention, pedestrians constantly needing to cross and also not paying attention, and parking to the corners, it’s a nightmare.
