and as always, Russian drivers.
I'm pretty sure she would've survived that hit.
Your dumbness hurts other people.
only in russia is there a fucking PEDESTRIAN CROSSING on a DUAL CARRIAGEWAY
that flower never stops bogeying
Why is there a walkway in the middle of the Highway in the first place?
[QUOTE=Bengley;42956857]only in russia is there a fucking PEDESTRIAN CROSSING on a DUAL CARRIAGEWAY[/QUOTE] ... I've seen them over here as well as in france, spain, germany and sweden.
[QUOTE=Reagy;42957469]... I've seen them over here as well as in france, spain, germany and sweden.[/QUOTE] But not out in the middle of a fucking forest
[QUOTE=Reagy;42957469]... I've seen them over here as well as in france, spain, germany and sweden.[/QUOTE] Not that kind of dual carriageway though. That is a proper motorway spec dual carriageway with a central reservation. There's nothing like that in England at least without traffic lights and advance warning signs

There's one on the way into Stoke-on-trent where my aunt lives and it's a spitting image of it, random crossing going over 4 lanes no warning or anything just the signs right at the crossing.

I'm curious to see because I've never seen anything so dumb in this country. Not doubting you or anything but I've driven ~200,000 miles in this country and don't recall seeing anything so stupid.

I just need to try and find the services and hope they did a street view of it which they should have.
It's sort of the fault of both parties. Driver should've been paying attention to the pedestrian crossing but the peds shouldn't have crossed the streets when there's oncoming cars so close...

You're really asking for trouble putting a unsignaled crossing on a dual carriageway. I would be interested to know how many fatalities there have been at this crossing.

Also driver is completely clear here, he was going to stop just fine, but the guy behind him hit him. As far as the peds going with oncoming cars so close, on a road like that I'm pretty sure it would be a pretty consistent flow of cars.
I'm sorry but looking at that flower during the entire video is cracking me up.
