[DoggyDaddy]

The court stripped a specific permitted group of legal protections still enjoyed by other permitted groups. The whole “intended” part is utterly ridiculous, hundreds of thousands of suits have been filed by litigants that were not “intended“ users or uses and they won.

This is wrong, “Roads must be maintained to be sufficiently safe for vehicular traffic”, they are for permitted use, unless otherwise codified in the laws.

This was the state Supreme Court trying to save bankrupting parts of the government…

You not liking a court ruling!?!?

Got anything on the merits? Probably not, as usual…

I see that crap (wrong side of the road) all too often. I do not get over for them, I just stop in my lane leaving no room on the right of my truck until they pass on the correct side of the road.

It absolutely is as simple as explained upthread.

Intended use: roads are designed and maintained for motor vehicles.

Permitted use: use at your own risk.

If they’re gonna start making roads to standards that cyclists need, I’m afraid we’ll need you and the other cyclists to pay for that.

Just wrong on the merits. Permitted, intended, if the entities in charge of the roads leave an unsafe condition and someone is injured car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, etc. they should have equal access to sue the entity that was responsible for the unsafe condition. One use should not have any rights over another legal use.

Do you find this wrong?

 

[jamil]

Yes.

 

[Ingomike]

Yes.

So by that logic many lawsuits are erroneously decided. McDonalds should have said coffee cups are intended for the hand and cup holder, not the lap. Slam dunk…

Faulty analogy.

Actually they're both on the wrong side of the road. Pedestrians are supposed to walk against traffic, on the left side of the road. Bicycles are supposed to ride with traffic, on the right side of the road.

What traffic? It wasn't a street, it was a bike/walking path.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

What traffic? It wasn't a street, it was a bike/walking path.

Then how was the cyclist on the wrong side? I'd say bicycles constitute "traffic". I think the same rules generally apply.

Who's in the wrong? I mean, look at the thread title. The walker was just foolish. She should have stepped out of the way and pushed the rider over as she passed. And then kicked her dogs.

No, seriously, it's the rider's fault. Most bike paths I've seen have signs that tell everyone to stay on the right side of the path. And that bikers should pass pedestrians on the left when safe to do so. The stupid **** riding the bike was in the walker's lane.

People go both ways on the path. Your logic says pedestrians and cyclists would always be going against each other. That would be brilliant. What do you want to bet there is a sign somewhere that says how people show handle the situation?

It's a multi-use path. So pedestrians, skateboarders, rollerbladers, anyone on the path traveling by any legal means, is traffic. Traffic should be on the right side of the path.

That cycle **** was on the wrong side. She was also likely violating leash laws. She appeared to choose to ride on her left side because the her right side of the path did not have room for her dogs. She was acting like it was her path. She was absolutely in the wrong to run into the pedestrian. And like I said, the pedestrian was just foolish.

That's the way it works on regular streets. Pedestrians and vehicular traffic (yes, even bicycles) should always be going against each other.
