I just want to chip in for my comrade. I haven't seen the video but based in descriptions I'm suspecting this is Bridgeport approaching the light at Viking before Knight Street Bridge?

This is my usual route that he is on, despite not viewing the video. The road is perfectly fine to filter along the curb, I've done it hundreds of times. I do it after the light since I enter the road at the light.

The sidewalk after the light over grown, busy, and has a lamp post if I recall. It took me six years to get them to clean the sidewalk that was left with about 18 inches of useable path to avoid the blackberry brambles. The after the brambles the sidewalk floods six inches deep in moderate to heavy rain. After which there is a large patch of road debris and sand.

Filtering at this area saves me twenty minutes on my commute. One day it took me forty minutes from the stop light to the bridge slip road in my car. I've also never had issues but at times I can see why an air horn would be necessary.
