They were one of the supporting acts at my first major gig. I have fond memories of this song, but it’s depressing too.

I think you are misunderstanding the roads. The roads in towns and cities have footpath and lighting. These are rural roads with minimal car or foot traffic.

Conversion would be both cost prohibitive and wasteful. Not to mention that many of these roads are narrow and to wide sufficiently would mean encroaching on people's houses or farms.

Ireland already has one of the lowest level of road deaths per 100, 000 people globally. This is not a case where the road system needs evaluation but a low cost method to reduce road deaths further.

I think you're looking at it from a USA overzealous cop perspective. It's like seat belt laws. Nobody ever gets a fine (ticket). It's setting an expectation to force through mentality change.

Ireland has aggressive road safety advertising that puts the blame and onus on the driver. There is a culture of driving safe being the responsible thing to do and not tolerating speeding or drink driving. (There are enforced fines for those). It's socially unacceptable to drive after drinking. It does still happen but at low levels. Whereas other countries, it's illegal but common.

Here is a sample of a recent ad.

Where you live, do people already wear reflective gear to go walking? In Ireland they do already.

With the highest road density?

Tilting at windmills now?

Epstein files please.

What about kids? Should we let the parent decide or,.if it's a blatantly obvious way to protect them, should we prosecute parent that don't suitably dress their kids for the risk? Or require it. Personally, o don't have a problem with making it a requirement. Knowing the Irish gardaî, of expect light enforcement.

Those roads already have a lower speed limit. I think the geography of the landscape and the neighbouring properties does not allow them to be more visible without loss of scenery.

Roads are designed for transport. Cars can be fatal. It's all well and good to say we should be safer but is wearing appropriate clothing when walking in a shared car pedestrian zone really be that onerous?

We already require the cars to have multiple safety standards to aid pedestrians and visibility. Cyclists are required to wear helmets in many places etc.

I am finding it odd that many comments talk about pedestrian freedom, yet jaywalking is illegal in many places but not in Ireland, where people can use their personal judgement and the cars are held responsible.

Like seatbelts, of it saves lives and is harmless, then why not. If no lives are saved, nobody is worse off. If one life is saved, it's worth it. Like seatbelts laws, the idea is a change in thinking not to fine people for non compliance.

I doubt it will become mandatory. It seems more like a thought bubble. Ireland used to have very high road death figures but has worked hard to change that.

It should be noted that in rural areas, many roads are unlit and quite winding. Ireland has very high road density with lots of minor roads. Many people walk on these roads which have no path. Use of lights and reflective or hi vis clothing is sensible and already common.

A burrito is a little donkey. You've been identified as a mule, helping illegal crossings. You will now be transferred to a facility to hold foreigners before deportation.

So, white?

It also might be because he's afraid of her, more than the others. They have huge followings too, but Taylor Swift has been able to call her followers into action.

Ok, but just so you know, your taco is economic downturn with added uncertainty, and erosion of civil liberties instead.

Would you like a side of fascism or civil war?
