Sidewalks are for pedestrians.
I really shouldn’t be.
Amazon is responsible for breaking up Inside The NBA.
Maybe I install a Viet Cong spike trap on my front porch.
Maybe Wile E. Coyote is sitting a top my roof with a large anvil.
It kinda looks like a road right?
Like one of those little narrow roads you see along highways.
You see them all the time.
And I don’t see anybody walking there.
Looks like a pretty weird place for a walk if you ask me.
There’s no small children playing in the grass.
Nobody else making use of that “sidewalk”.
Also, there’s road signs along the right side.
But most importantly, the man as packages to deliver.
It says right there on the side of his truck ‘ETA: Right Now’.
Right now is right now.
He’s already late.
He has no times for roads.
He has a very important cat tree to deliver.
If that cat tree isn’t on Karen’s doorstep by 3pm sharp there will be hell to pay.
I’d need to see a full aerial shot of that highway before I make a final verdict.
It’s very possibly a clearly marked sidewalk (it’s almost certainly a clearly marked sidewalk).
I’m willing to bet he thought that was a road.
I suppose you could argue that makes it even worse.
That we have Amazon drivers out here who are unable to identify roads.
That does seem like a very important part of the job.
But he’s not driving recklessly.
He’s driving a responsible 35 mph.
It was nothing more than a misunderstanding due to a poorly marked sidewalk.
They didn’t have to fire the guy for it.
Just sit him down in the office and give him a quick ‘sidewalks vs roads’ refresher course.
I’m sure he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Better safe than sorry I guess.
