Touirst Killed Crossing Commonwealth Ave

I guess it’s possible that someone makes a mistake and these things happen occasionally. When crossing a road, it’s always in the best interests of the pedestrian to watch carefully. But that would mean a member of the public taking responsibility for themself, and this is Canberra, so we can’t have that!

Austrian tourist – maybe expecting the traffic from the opposite direction?

touirst = Qbn slang for two bratwursts>

BTW Jazz, what’s a ‘touirst’?
An Austrain with tourettes?

Drove past this just after it happened – was right at the place where the temporary traffic lighst are set up for floriade. Maybe they should put signage on the posts when they are not actually traffic lights.

Something to say that this is not actually a ped x-ing – cross at your own risk.

Alternatively the papes are all bleeting that there is nowhere to cross over in that area of commonwealth avenue – I say why not go under the road.

In saying so there is a fairly clear run up to the accident site – visibility at 100+ meters so

What’s an Austrain tourist? Did they perhaps mean Austrian? Very sloppy proof reading letting this go to (electronic) print with this error. Don’t their computers have a spell check/dictionary program?

Was the Austrain tourist not aware that she was crossing a road and that occasionally cars drive on this road?

More proof that Deb Foskey is entirely useless. Yawn.

I was going to blame the lack of light rail, but then I realised that almost made sense.

I blame AWAs.

I blame school closures.
