@grassroots - while often those drive-thrus are a danger when they allow their line-up to back up out onto the road, in this case I don't think you can blame the drive-thru. The same accident would've occurred if the SUV driver had pulled into a Timmy's with the intent of parking in the parking lot.

This drive-thru was no more or less a danger than any other roadside destination.

Fundamentally, the problem is that the South Mountain was designed for cars and only cars. I didn't even know they _had_ sidewalks on Stonechurch - last time I was walking on Stonechurch the only sidewalk was a beat-up strip of asphalt on the side of the road that lacked houses.

Edit: I never understand why cyclists are lambasted for using iPods. Nobody is out there demanding that car stereos be removed from all motor vehicles. Obviously you're probably safer if you choose not to... but nobody ever says that a driver involved in an accident had his car stereo on.
