@somcak not just a road user, but a 'vulnerable' one

like somehow it's a character flaw to be walking or biking

it also conjures up images of video games for me. like there are little walking/biking avatars running around on a screen with a little box next to them labeling them VRUs and showing their point value when they get blasted to smithereens

@DrTCombs Yeah. That's just awful. I would absolutely swap that acronym for human/person ever single time.

@somcak it's surprisingly hard to do though. it requires complete restructuring of sentences in most cases. VRU is often used as a descriptor, with the emphasis on whatever is being described. Changing it to human/person -- a noun worth emphasing on its own merit! -- is no small feat.

Still doing it.
