Since covid, I've seen more traffic violations than ever before and have seen 1 traffic stop (literally). People drive fast, pass in the bike lane or in the street parking, rarely stop at stop signs, and do not yield to pedestrian crossing. In Indianapolis, the police budget is 1/3 of the entire city tax revenue, so how do we have safer streets?

:edit: shared link is 100 pedestrians were reported hit in August 2024

Always interesting watching "back the blue" people breaking the laws, it's as if they have a different reason to have that stance ๐Ÿค”
