Parking in Whitehorse -- don't you see the lines?!?
How many times have you seen drivers park over two, even three spaces? And how about those crazy angles. I think I will be posting photos to this blog to illustrate.
Pedestrian nightmare -- Whitehorse
This kind of driver ignorance is typical (legend, even) in Whitehorse. I'll protect the submitter and driver and not post their names.
I was walking along Second Avenue (on the sidewalk). There was a crosswalk up ahead. Just before I reached the crosswalk, a big SUV that was turning right drove onto the crosswalk and stayed there. I thought about walking around the front of the vehicle to cross the street, but walked around the back instead. The whole time the driver had their head turned to the left, watching to see if they could turn right yet. Never once checked to the right to see if any pedestrians were crossing in front. This happens to me all the time. Sad to say, but I'm always surprised how few pedestrians get run over in this town.
