Stupid Pedestrians

[cynder]

Yesteday I was traversing along Edsa sa may Pasay MRT. Talaga nga yatang wala ng pag asa ang mga pinoy coz instead of using yung deisgnated overpass eh nakikipapatintero sa mga dumadaan. Ang nakaka inis eh merong sign na bawal tumawid with matching MMDA enforcer pa. Hay..

Dapat I SOLIDIFY yung law na kung saan pag NAKASAGASA ka sa di dapat tawiran walang sagutin yung driver because to begin with di dapat nandun yung bobong pedestrian. Our government wastes millions of pesos sa mga overpass and underpass yet di naman ginagamit. It's unacceptable na masira
ang buhay ng kawawang driver dahil lang sa katangahan ng iilan.

Aside for PASAY MRT, example din yung BACLARAN hay

Nako daming ganyan. Lalo na ung mga footbridge na ginawa nila, ung mga walang pinagaralan na mga tao na yan tawid pa din ng tawid. Tapos pag bubusinahan mo tingin pa sayo then mag-make face tapos kung ano ano sasabihin. Dati may na-encounter ako ganyan din binusinahan ko ng binusinahan. Di marunong mag-basa may tagalog translation naman.

Yup sana nga may law na ganun.

I have this friend nakatama ng Fish cracker vendor sa loob mismo ng Coastal Road Expressway. It does not make sense na pagbayarin sya ng hospital bill etc since to begin with PEDESTRIANS are PROHIBITED INSIDE AN EXPRESSWAY. The point is walang masasagaan kung wala cya dun and besides CYA YUNG DAPAT KASUHAN NG JAYWALKING OR EVEN TRESPASSIng for that matter

Hay, Damn those stupid pedestrian. One more thing yung signage ng MMDA na "WALANG TAWIRAN NAKAMAMATAY" should be changed to "WALANG TAWIRAN NAKAMAMATAY: PAG NASAGASAAN WALANG SAGUTIN ANG NAKASAGASA". Nakakaasar kasi eh.

Nakakainis nga yung mga pedestrians na yan. I agree na stupid nga yang mga ganyang tao, pero we still have to drive defensively. IMO, nobody deserves to die no matter how stupid they are. We need to make it a point that we are not endangering people or even animals when we are driving (even if they are the ones putting themselves in danger). Konting pasensya lang dahil ang buhay ng tao hindi napapalitan. Peace.

Nakasulat nga roon......"Bawal tumawid. Nakamamatay!" (in bright pink boards) Kaso wala rin, no pansin yung mga engot na natawid.

Pero dapat pinapansin din ito ng mga MMDA enforcers eh. Hulihin nila yung mga natawid. Parang walang nakita! At mas abala sila sa mg bibiktimahing motorista.

[kuyapete]

i so totally agree with your sentiments, nakakainis nga talaga. kadalasan, sila pa ung feeling may karapatan tumawid dahil sinenyasan ka nang dadaan siya.

i dont think the problem is the lack of pedestrian overpasses or the abundance of it, kung kulang, sa kalye, tumatawid, kung sobra, ginagawang pwesto ng mga vendors, either way, its bad for the citizens. IMHO, education is the root and the solution to all our problems. sana bigyang priority ito ng MMDA, also, stiffer penalties to all offenders.

hindi ba dati meron fine ang mga jaywalkers?...dapat ibalik ito...let say 50pesos per person..malamang papansinin yan ng mmda..ehehhe

Gawin nilang P10,000 or 6 mos. imprisonment (with no exemptions) ang fine, tignan natin kung may mag jaywalk pa.

Problem is lack of education. If people cannot read or write, they cannot follow any laws/regulations since they cannot read or comprehend them in the first place. Nakakainis, pero ganyan talaga sa mahirap na bansa.

Just let them pass, just be more careful and vigilant. Be safe.

Yeah bro, ganito na nga lang yung nangyayari. An instructor at a Driving Seminar told the class that the Right to Life supercedes the Right of Way. It's just so unfortunate and frustrating that so many pedestrians apply this in the wrong way that they foolishly endanger themselves on purpose.

There's got to be better enforcement as well. Just like motorists in Subic, who get a shock when they commit a violation while in SBMA, whereas in Metro Manila they get away with such on a regular basis, pedestrians, whether they cannot read or write, will be hesitant to cross a street when they see fellow pedestrians being apprehended for jaywalking. Whether or not they eventually change their ways is up to them, but for the not-so-hard-headed, they'll probably change. The P10K fine mentioned above would be an interesting deterrent...

they can read and write but the main problem is lack of dicipline..they just ignore those huge sinage..kahit tad tarin mo ng sinage yan hindi pa din susundin..

OT: nung time na may sinama akong 2 european chick dyan sa pinas..gulat sila bakit daw pagka dami daming sinage.. at ang dami daw taong kakalat kalat sa kalye..heheheheh

[mazdamazda]

sa may Caloocan area ganyan din... ang lalaki ng signs stating na "BAWAL TUMAWID. NAKAKAMATAY" tapos dun pa mismo sila tatawid...

the more funny thing is that just a stone's throw away is a footbridge constructed by the MMDA.

tapos kapag binusihan mo (like what I did the other day) - sila pa ang galit.

Sad, but very true...

[impulzz]

ganyan di dito sa aurora blvd. sa tapat ng centerpoint. may sign na pero sige pa din tawid.

dati sa cubao edsa, tapat ng farmer's plaza, di ba may overpass dun. pero yung mga tamad tinatawid pa din edsa to farmer's. so ang ginawa nung pulis, dun sya sa center island, tago behind the bushes, pag tawid ng mga tamad...huli, pag walang pambayad, push-ups sa lalaki, squat naman ang babae dun mismo sa gitna ng island sila. yung isang tauhan namin na huli dun, kaya pala late dumating tapos pawis na pawis hehehe.

[jundogg]

yup palitan ang signages to "BAWAL TUMAWID: MAMAMATAY KA!"
those peds would prefer to die than taking the bridges. tsk tsk

[FedEx]

wala tayo magawa jan wala tlgang kadisciplina disciplina mga kababayan natin dapat ayusin natin sarili natin para magunlad ang pinas haaay

[leinahtan]

I share same sentiments sa inyo guys. Kakabwisit talaga yang mga stupid pedestrians na yan. In a situation na green light ka na, doon pa sila tatawid. Hmp! pag nakalampas ka na sa intersection, meron na naman sa kabila..

Nakupo!!! Goodluck sa panawagan mo sir...

Actually it happened to me several years ago, countless of pedestrians cross the street na path din ng way ko so they blocked yung way. may rally pala nung araw na yun

[swordsman]

Dami din dyan sa Paseo de Roxas, the corner just before mag-intersect sa Ayala(coming from Makati Ave intersection)....mga professionals naman sila tingnan, pero sige pa rin silang tawid sa kalsada kahit ang laki-laki ng sign na bawal tumawid. Pinagawan pa sila ng underpass with matching escalator ha!

[ghosthunter]

It would be an interesting social experiment to use a paintball or airsoft gun to punish those unlawful pedestrians. If there is an illegal pedestrian, you can use those high-power sniper airsoft rifles to give a 1-2-3 shot of "OUCHIES" to that person to deter them from doing it again.
