Two separate crashes involving pedestrians walking in marked crosswalks in Cincinnati this weekend resulted in deaths.

CW for the link: death by vehicular violence

It was a bloody memorial day weekend in Cincinnati.

Even though the answer society needs to arrive at is banning cars, that reality seems so far away.

How realistic is it that we can start by banning these gigatrucks and SUVs from city streets where they simply don’t belong?

    Completely banning trucks is probably hard to justify as there are still people that actually use them for their intended purpose, but getting rid of them in cities at least is probably a good idea

      I think we should do it. I live in the south and even the people that “use their truuck” hardly ever do. Most of the trucks are prized possessions and aren’t allowed to be dirty. Like they’re a dress or a new pair of heels.

      Even “work trucks” all covered in company stickers are clean and empty.

      Only those busted up 10 year old F150s get used like trucks at any scale.

      Change will only come from another generation. So teach your kids to talk trash about truck owners and it’ll fix itself.

      You can ban new sales to non-businesses and that will make a huge difference.

      I think it should still be legal to rent trucks, but individuals shouldn’t be able to buy them (unless it’s for a business).
