Yeah, I very much support rainbows and pride stuff in other places, but I have never felt great about rainbow crosswalks. I’m an autistic driver, I do my best to limit distraction and already have to spend so much of my daily “supply” of willpower staying focused on my short drive. Heck, a freshly painted white crosswalk is distracting enough, lol.
But since it’s something for the public, if it hasn’t actually increased traffic incidents, then I am also fine with it. My personal experience with it isn’t universal, after all.
Yeah, I’m not sure. People are calling it highlighting, but it doesn’t fit any reasonable pattern to have been manually highlighted. Is there some sort of bad automated highlighting? Or just someone still learning what highlighting is even used for. Or is it just some sort of style thing?
