The sidewalks here are terrible, you can trip and fall, car's park on them and some areas don't even have them. The street is easier and safer. It is not laziness! The government has done nothing to make life easier for the people. No crosswalks, no decent sidewalks, no traffic lights that anyone pays attention to. Sad but true.

coz path almost be full of human drags(sellers,buyers,walkers,cars)..,u will walk so slow as a sick turtle then sure u will be so late at ur appt
so people prefer to walk on the road..,then most of path walkers think the same way..,then all start to leave path to the road & stop the cars..,then the cars here move as sick turtles and people who ride'em be so late at their appts..,therefore if they want to reach in the time..they hit the walkers..,no problem..,and the walkers here have good reasons about why they be late at their appts Posts: 712 | Registered: Sep 2006

One thing I did notice that I havent seen here is pushchairs for babies, probably due to the condition or lack of pavements.
