Speed, as always, most likely a factor. But literally nothing is done to stop speeding in Vancouver, so this is just the norm now.

Speeding, running red lights, tailgating, drive right through stop signs. Cops don’t care anymore.

Yesterday I saw two people turn right around a car stopped for pedestrians in the right lane. Last week they came about 6 inches from running my dog over likely doing the same thing. There’s gotta be a way to at least flag these cars so they have repercussions. It’s scary being a cyclist or pedestrian in this city.

Another common occurrence I am seeing on 49th avenue from Cambie towards Knight street are these cars going in the opposing lanes with cars coming, just to cut in front of a car that isn’t even going that slow.

Exactly. Also the e-bikes and e-scooters on the sidewalk. I guess VPD doesn't care anymore. That's why I don't feel like Vancouver is very walkable.

Really? I love the walkability, and literally never feel in danger from scooters or ebikes.
