The already-risky practice of overtaking an annoyingly slow-moving snow plow could soon be illegal in Ontario. New legislature tabled by the provincial government on Tuesday aims to pass a sweeping list of changes designed to cut what Doug Ford's Ontario PC party characterizes as "red tape," including measures to clamp down on plow-passers on highways. The bluntly-worded Less Red Tape, Stronger Economy Act, 2023 includes 42 initiatives that, if passed, the government claims will "save businesses, not-for-profits, and the broader public sector $119 million in net annual regulatory compliance costs."

Walking person vs. Rolling person Etiquette?

We were at Pride last weekend. The time or place or event is largely irrelevant, but imagine a venue like a large public park, or an amusement park with big swaths of grass instead of roller coasters. There are wide walkways that are 90% flat; a few bumps show up where there are repaired cracks or manhole covers and stuff like that. While it’s not advertised as super accessible, it’s perfectly fine for mobility equipment as long as you’re observant of the paths from the handicapped parking to the wheelchair curb to the main park walkway, etc.

The major issue that became clear almost immediately, though, was that the event was packed with excited participants. (From a Pride perspective, that’s super awesome, and a lot of people are gregariously friendly and complimentary of my rainbow wheelchair tray.) Due to the way the event is set up, there are vendors and organizations in tents on both sides of multiple main walkways. There’s a large semi-circle of food vendors. The middle grassy area is full of people in lawn chairs/ lounging and listening to live music and watching performers on the main stage.

It’s all totally to be expected. I wouldn’t go to a big event like that and expect it to be unpopular or empty of other people. However, the people walking and moving along the walkways are not observing the “walk on the right-hand side of the path” guideline that generally controls traffic in crowds. There are vendors on both sides, so there is temptation to zigzag, but going all the way to the end and U-turning is much leas disruptive to the movement flow.

Regarding my locomotion, I don’t self-propel. I don’t have the upper body strength to make my chair go more than a few inches, especially when I have a gear bag hanging from my handles on the back. When I’m indoors on a hard floor, like linoleum, I do on-the-spot turns, like to come out of an elevator facing forward, but I can’t go down a hallway or anything by myself. I need a helper.

So, when we’re at Pride, we’re observing the “stick to the right” generalization, and trying to keep our party of 7 fairly close together, since it consists of 2 wheelchairs, one wagon, 4 walkers, and, among those, 4 deaf people. We pause frequently to talk to vendors and to do stuff like adjust clip-on fans and drink water. I don’t think at any point we clogged the walkway; we mostly stayed in a line. But, people kept walking by me and scooting in between me and DD (my helper) and hip-checking my chair, and just being a little too close for comfort. Most of them said “excuse me.” The words came out before they shoved on through.

I found that rather not ok. Some of it is personal preference, because I’m a word nerd, and I think words and phrases ought to be used by their proper definitions (“excuse me” is an apology, thus said after the offense. Something like “pardon” refers to action whoops, so better choice during the offense… but I know that’s nit picky and dumb to try to make a standard). But, the true issue here is this: in the case of one walking and one rolling person, who should accommodate whom?

I’m not that much of a jerk that I think just because I’m in a chair that I need to be treated like royalty that’s in an untouchable bubble. I realize I’m in a public space, and interacting with people is a thing.

But, like, when you’re on a hiking path that also allows bicycles, you don’t start chasing down a bicycle if you see one and rub your elbow across the rider’s face. You carefully pass one another. Maybe acknowledge each other. And if the path is super narrow, isn’t it traditional and most polite for the hiker to carefully step aside until the bicycle passes?

If it’s an impossible location, like my chair is blocking the only gap between a tent and a wall, I’ll ask DD to move me. But otherwise, wouldn’t it just be easier and more respectful and more comfortable for all involved if the walker chose the next most convenient place to change direction?

I’m also sort of a naturally anxious/guilty person, and I often feel the need to fall inferior to the other person and get myself and my stuff out of the way (yeah, you can thank my roommate for reinforcing that habit). However, I’m also easily offended to be told I’m wrong or doing something incorrectly, especially by someone who is out of the loop. So, I found myself looking to DD (who is deaf) and my roommate (who is deaf) for reassurance or direction of what to do. I didn’t really get answers. That’s ok, because there was just so much chaos.

The more I think about it, though, the more I think I’ve come to a conclusion. There’s a loose hierarchy of pedestrian/vehicle etiquette, such as kids playing in the cul-de-sac vacate for cars. Pedestrians on the sidewalk accommodate bicycles. Cars accommodate racing/commuting bicycles in bike lanes/bike boxes/observing traffic law. In general, wheels have power over feet, yet the relative vulnerability of all parties involved must also be observed. A wheelchair is most similar to a bicycle, so a pedestrian should work around it. Additionally, a wheelchair user is more vulnerable than a pedestrian, so again, the pedestrian should observe the safety of the wheelchair when planning their own movements.

I’m not trying to make edicts or enforce laws. I’m trying to logic my way through something that didn’t make a lot of sense. If you have thoughts, feel free to share. It’s not just one opinion that counts, after all.

“Following traffic laws is the same as bootlicking!”

The entire problem with cops is that they *ignore* the law and jeopardize others’ safety for their own convenience. That isn’t an excuse for you to tailgate someone with your high beams on for being just 5 mph over the limit.

When I roll through a stop sign — with no other car or person in sight, or course — I like to quickly tap the brake as a friendly tip o’ the hat to traffic law. Acab includes everyone who doesn’t like this post, btw. Sorry, I don’t make the rules!
