– SCOOTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE SIDEWALK. Use the bike lane, get in the street. If, and ONLY if there is no bike line and the road you are on is particularly unsafe, and you decide to use the sidewalk recognize you are technically breaking the rules and yield to any and all pedestrians. Go as slow as possible, stay to the side, be mindful.
– BAGS GO ON YOUR LAPS when on the bus and the train. They don’t get their own seat. Especially if you see people standing, move over.
-DONT STAND IN FRONT OF THE BUS/TRAIN EXIT DOORS. If you have to, step to the side, or step out of the bus to let people exit and step back on.
-IF YOU DONT NEED THE RAMP, EXIT IN THE BACK.
-LET PEOPLE EXIT BEFORE YOU ENTER. The bus/train will not leave you, I pinky promise. It will be easier for everyone, yourself included, if you literally wait 5 seconds.
-DONT PULL INTO THE CROSSWALK AT A RED LIGHT. It does nothing for you, but it’s dangerous for pedestrians.
-WALK SINGLE FILE ON CROWDED SIDEWALKS. Let people paas you. I’m not jumping into the road or a bush for you. Just pause the conversation and step behind your friend for a moment.
Chat, did I miss anything?
Disclaimer: I am not rude. This is how we have a civilized society. You’re rude if you can’t manage to be aware of those around you. We’re about to go into Summer. Let’s make it pleasant for everyone, not just the individual.
Additionally, Seattlites, we need to be more assertive. Stop asking, “Is it okay if I sit here?” It is already okay. Say, “Please move your bag/scoot over. I need to sit down.” Tell your friends not to ride their scooters on the sidewalk. Etc, etc.
