    Sounds like 2 things at fault here. 1. Don’t block the bike lane with a dumpster, and 2. Check tour blind spots when merging with traffic. The latter would’ve been prevented if the construction company wasn’t so careless.

      Nah. They issue permits for this all the time. The permit, lack thereof, or simple filing error makes absolutely no difference to this womans behaviour

        I guess it comes down to how well they marked things. Like put a sign further ahead letting people know, cones, etc.

          I worked construction a long time. The prevailing rule seemed to be no matter how much you tried, it’s always never the pedestrians fault. Hang a sign, put up a barrier…expect some woman to be able to see a big fucking dumpster half a block away…There’s this nanny culture now that if you tie a barrier up with rope, someone cuts the rope and walks through, it’s your fault for not using chain.
